About Tobin Elliott

The first thing I’ll say is, go visit my full website where you can get more information on most of the stuff below.  Now, on with the info.

I’ve been writing so long there may be graffiti inside my mother’s womb.

Here’s some stuff I do:

• Teach Creative Writing at TrentU (Oshawa Campus). Learn more about that here.
• Teach Creative Writing at Durham College in Oshawa. Been doing that since 2000.
• Do edit-for-hire work for other writers.  You can learn more about that here.
• Is a proud founding board member of the Writers’ Community of Simcoe County (WCSC)

• Lurk on Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn and About.me
• Does a real job as a Communications Specialist at a big Canadian company you’ve probably heard of.
• Writes ugly stories about bad people doing horrible things

Here’s some writing stuff I’ve done or I’m working on:

• Vanishing Hope, a novella (54 pages) and my first published work, is now available for order through Burning Effigy Press.  Check out the reviews here.

• I’m collecting my #WritingTip tweets into a “how to write” book called Tweet You Write to be (hopefully) epublished in 2013
• Completed the first draft of the pseudo-sequel to No Hope, called Blood Loss during the Muskoka Novel Marathon that I participated in in July 2012.
• I’m also working on several short stories, and at least one novella
