Founder

Malone University

Associate Professor, Director of Creative Writing

I direct the Program in Creative Writing at the University of Alabama, and am founder of The Long Schoolroom, a learning community devoted to creative exploration and personal development. 

I am author of several books and a certified holistic arts coach with over 30 years of experience guiding others to write well, think deeply, and enact spirited transformation in their lives and work. 

Everything is invention and revision.  

You might not read poetry (I won't judge!), but we all need the poetic (a word which in Greek simply means “making”): beauty, connection, inspiration, wit. 

I team with high-performing creators, founders, leaders, and groups to spur them to new levels of clarity and direction, to workshop ideas and innovations, to integrate the personal with the professional. 

Wonder is at the heart of all artistic enterprises—and everything is an art!—so let’s court more of it in all we do. The imagination is our highest faculty, and dreams are the heart of reality. 

Let me know if I can help.

Vinyl record enthusiast 🎶 Content strategist 💡 copywriter ✍️

You've either

(1) got no time to network, post, AND engage consistently

OR...

(2) have the time but cannot connect with your target audience.

You feel stuck, frustrated, SOL...

It's okay. You're human and this work is the hard work.

Here's how it works:

1. We'll get clear on your who, your what, and your how 
↳ So that your audience knows you have them, their problem, and their solution in mind.

2. We'll develop high-converting messaging
↳ With algorithm-friendly content, engagement, and audience growth.

3. We'll scale your out-bound lead generation strategy
↳ Using daily/weekly/monthly KPIs to track progress.

What you'll get from me is a former teacher with an insatiable philosophical curiosity. It's why I excel at...
	- Listening to my clients
	- Identifying natural message progressions
	- Find audience building among my chief superpowers 

And those three letters at the end of my name? Don't worry about them. They remind me of where I came from and where I'm going. You'll find out what that means soon enough.

But don't just take my word for it. Here's what Kevin Huntting said about working with me: 
"Michael understands that at the heart of every successful piece of content lies a fundamental truth – the human connection. His language doesn't just reach people; it speaks to them, creating a dialogue that feels intimate despite the digital divide."

Let's start building a relationship with a pitch-free virtual coffee. You'll likely find out about my favorite vinyls.
