As much as Gallowglas loves that he gets to play make-believe for a career, he loves studying all aspects of making things up just a little bit more. He considers his BA and two MFAs the beginning, rather than the fulfillment, of his writing education. Teaching writing is one of the great passions of his life. He’s developed his own curriculum for teaching writers to engage more fully with their work and take their stories to places they never dreamed possible. (Please DON’T Google him.)
