J. W. M. Morgan (Jim)

Since 2000 I have taught and tutored English, reading, writing, and math at Second Start Adult Literacy Program of the Oakland Public Library, Oakland International High School, and the Refugee Transitions program. I grew up in New York and New Hampshire. I graduated from the writing program at Brown University where I won some prizes for short fiction. My family has deep roots in New York and New England. I've traveled extensively in Europe and the Americas and worked in seven countries. I am an assistant editor at Narrative Magazine.
