William E. Jefferson holds an MTh in Theology and Media from the University of Edinburgh, and an MA in Communication from the Wheaton Graduate School. He serves on the board of the Marshall McLuhan Initiative (MMI) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and is an active member and supporter of the Media Ecology Association, as well as the Institute of General Semantics.
The author of several books, Jefferson is the creator of the mystical Isle of Estillyen, beyond of the Storied Sea, introduced in his debut novel, Messages from Estillyen (www.estillyen.com).
Concerning the worth of words, Jefferson offers the following: “When one considers that Edgar Allan Poe used a mere thirteen words to write ‘All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream,’ the notion that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ comes forth as naught.”
