He has come away from every writing job no matter how grand or unglamorous with a lesson learned about writing. Spend a day with this entertaining literary hero where you will learn why non-fiction writing is important to any genre.





?There's usually an angle you can play for fun or drama, without overstepping the parameters of your assigned subject matter -- it may take some digging, but it's always there! ? William Trotter

"Most writers have a limited range of passionate commitments, and the very breadth of subject matter in Trotter?s published works has no doubt contributed to his lack of mainstream recognition?he cannot bear the thought that you and I don?t know as much about these things as he does. That makes him a teacher as well as a story-teller. It is from such writers that we learn. "
