Expert Profile: James G. Rogers

Expertise:  I can answer questions about grammar, syntax, mood, number, punctuation, sentence structure, voice, word meaning and subtext. I can edit a work to make it more effective, clearer and more direct. I can help a writer with a creative work to make it more descriptive, make it paint more vivid pictures that follow, advance and contribute to the theme and goal of the piece. I can also offer counsel in novel and screenplay construction, the dramatic arc and other elements that make creative writing more vibrant and powerful.

Experience in the area
I have written five novels and four screenplays. One screenplay won an award that took my wife and me to Hollywood for three days. I've written for nonfiction publication in professional journals, and I've edited a variety of works of others for many years.

Publications
Fundraising Management Nonprofit Times

Education/Credentials
Graduated with honors from independent school. Graduated in three years from a highly-competitive private four-year university. I have an MBA and am currently a doctoral candidate at a private university in England.

Awards and Honors
2008 Kairos Prize for spiritually uplifting screenplays.
