I've enlisted him to write articles for The ASJA Monthly, which I edit, and last October he offered to moderate a panel at the UCI/American Society of Journalists and Authors Southern California conference. The article was a success, and Scott helped to make the conference a success; his panel was among the most popular."

In my experience, people who can teach writing are rare and, hence, extremely valuable, and Scott certainly is on of these people."
