BTW This picture is NOT sensitive. It is the exact same picture of my face that is at the top of the page. IDK why Twitter did this.

I have fond memories of driving my Ford Ranger, and I loved the stick shift. Alex and I had many adventures driving in my truck, especially to Boystown in Chicago. What a trip! ajtonyperkins.com

I am a huge fan of Dorothy Kilgallen. I compiled this video about her amazing life and mysterious death. Sadly, few people have heard of this once great media star, and she remains mostly forgotten.

The English Department link is above.

I was inducted into Sigma Tau Delta as a student at Mount Mary University where I earned a master’s degree in English/Creative Writing. It was at Mount Mary where my memoir started as a 20 page assignment.

I joined the Milwaukee Press Club after they awarded me a Gold Medal. During COVID, I allowed my membership to expire. I haven’t been to their Newsroom Pub. I am considering joining again.

I earned three awards from the Wisconsin Newspaper Association in 2019 for articles I wrote for Arches at Mount Mary University

I employed the services of Kathie Giorgio at All Writers Workplace & Workshop to help me edit my memoir. Her services were excellent and I highly recommend her professional offerings. Located in Waukesha, Wisconsin she meets with clients via phone calls and Zoom video.

In 2022, I presented at this convocation of writers and lovers of writing on the challenges of crafting a memoir.

I attended a Zoom workshop via this organization. I found it productive and informative. I’m yet to attend a live meeting.

WRITING DAY WORKSHOPS

I attended the Milwaukee Writing Day Workshop in June 2024.

I did not find this event beneficial.

Four of the seven scheduled agents failed to show up for the conference. One “agent” was a middle school English teacher who worked as an agent in her spare time. This did not impress me.

Although many others give these workshops praise, I cannot recommend them.
