*About David Kinnane*

“][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text animation=”animation fade-in”]Hi! I’m David Kinnane. I’ve been writing professionally for my whole career. Not novels, screenplays, or news features. But, as a lawyer and, then, as a speech-language pathologist, I’ve built my whole career – everything I’ve achieved – on my writing skills. 

For more than a decade, I’ve worked with reluctant writers. I’ve increased their confidence, motivation, and creativity by teaching them to write well. 

I started Rally Writers to help busy parents of reluctant writers, like you, and teachers, to help reluctant writers who would prefer to learn to write at their own pace. 

To get you started, I’ve written a free book packed with practical ideas I’ve learned over the years about supporting reluctant writers and tools to help.
