Everyone has a story to tell. If you are reading this, you know you do.
At some point, every writer I know has hit a wall and has scoured the Internet for writing advice from somebody who has "made it." Sound familiar? The problem is that for most of us, generic writing advice is irrelevant.
If generic writing advice frustrates you, you're already on the right track. You're already searching for a new approach, a way to push back against a culture of advice that doesn't consider your identity, experiences, or challenges.
As a writing coach, I help my students cultivate a sustainable writing practice as they navigate the literary world. I help writers ask the right questions, strengthen their own agency, and use every experience as a learning opportunity.
I approach my own work in the same way: I seek balance, care, and nourishment in my writing life. I want the same for you.
I adapt my coaching practice to each student and often provide guidance on:
- Cultivating sustainable writing practices
- Writer's block
- The creative process
- Planning a project
- Developing and refining manuscripts (including chapbooks, full-length poetry manuscripts, flash creative nonfiction, long-form critical and personal essays, essay collections, and memoir)
- Submitting to literary magazines
- Application support for artist statements, awards, grants, fellowships, retreats, and the MFA
