Welcome to the website of writer Thomas Nixon. This site is a work-in-progress, but it should eventually be something worth using.

My guess would be that some of you are interested in distance learning at colleges, some in online high schools, some in publishing, some in writing, and some who find me by accident. Hopefully, there is something here for everybody.

What I have been missing and what this new website provides is a way to synthesize my varied activities into one easy-to-use site. As I flesh out this site, it should be increasingly useful to you (and to me).

My latest book is Complete Guide to Online High Schools: Distance learning options for teens & adults and the companion website is Best Online High Schools.

When it comes to high school diplomas, I always defer to Tom Nixon, a true expert in this field, who writes clearly, concisely, and oh-so helpfully.

Tom Nixon's book will help you choose wisely. It is a "must read" for all who are about to take the important step of becoming an online high school student.
