The Writing Tree Home
Born in Titusville, Pennsylvania, Michael E. Altman, taught
English at Steel Valley High School in Munhall, Pennsylvania from
1991 until his retirement in June of 2023. He graduated from St. Bonaventure University, Olean, NY with a B.A. in
English. He also received his teaching degree from California University of
Pennsylvania. The Writing Tree culminates over forty-five
years of his own writing struggles coupled with thirty-three years of teaching others
to write. He hopes these pages prove helpful.
