Background

About Stephen Kuntz

Currently residing in Ankara, Turkey working remotely as a Writing Specialist for the University of Alberta, Stephen Kuntz has been an educator at the U of A for 30 years, in literature, English language development, and writing. For 16 years, he served as Associate Director of the Academic Success Centre overseeing the writing program, staff, and editing service and offering writing workshops, student consultations, and teaching on plagiarism awareness and academic-cultural transition. Having graded more than student documents (and “looked at” more), he still finds great satisfaction in teaching and aiding people in becoming better thinkers and communicators, primarily through focusing on writing. Stephen has come to perceive that the concept of relationships governs many aspects of writing (and life), and in the words of a student and eventual co-writer, he sees himself as a "Guide, Companion, and Midwife," listening to, advising, arguing with, and coaching anyone who desires on their writing projects.
