Teaching & Editing

Teaching

Typically, I teach online creative writing courses with The Loft Literary Center. You can find my Teaching Artist Bio here.

I am not offering any courses in Spring of 2024. I intend to offer courses in the fall.

Not everyone needs a workshop—sometimes, all a writer needs is a fresh perspective on their writing. In my consultations, I’m never trying to turn your book into something it’s not. I try to simply make it the best and clearest version of itself it can be. Revision is where the real magic happens, but it can also be the most exhausting part of the writing process--I'm here to help!

Every consultation includes:

A 3-4 page editorial response letter that discusses things such as narrative momentum, structure, and voice, as well as sentence-level habits and clarity issues.
A 1-hour Zoom conference in which we will discuss the letter, and we can discuss anything from next steps to reading suggestions to publishing ideas.

Consultations do not include:

Line edits on your manuscript itself. I will reference specific pages and sections within my letter, but I won’t be marking my notes or making grammar and punctuation edits on the pages themselves.

Types of writing that I edit:

Any kind of prose, including fiction, nonfiction, book proposals, and MFA application essays. I don’t edit poetry.
I can edit complete manuscripts or excerpts from longer manuscripts in progress. In the case of an excerpt, I prefer to read from the beginning of the manuscript.
