Welcome!  This site is a place where you may find my online books, articles, and essays. Some are listed below. Others are in More Writings.

 

First, I'd like to note that I am not the subject of the movie Richard Jewell. That Richard Jewell is deceased, I'm not related to him, and I know nothing about him except that he was wrongly accused of a bombing at Atlanta's Olympic Park.
 
Second, I am the Richard Jewell who is General Coordinator of MnWE
Minnesota Writing and English (www.MnWE.org). MnWE runs an annual spring conference for 100-200 university, college, and college-in-the-high-schools faculty and related staff and publishers. I also edit and send the MnWE News every two months to about 2800 faculty and related professionals on the MnWE Listserv in Minnesota and parts of five nearby states. If you'd like to join the Listserv, please see www.MnWE.org, or email meyour email address is never given to anyone else without your permission,and you may unsubscribe at any time.
