Workshops Besides writing, teaching is what I most love to do. I lead creative writing workshops online, as well as run workshops and critique groups locally. I enjoy working with writers at all levels, and have led workshops for college students, elementary and high school children, retirees, and K-12 educators. I'm a skilled facilitator who calls upon graduate training in creative writing and counselor education to create positive and productive learning environments. I can create workshops for your group, work with you one-on-one in customized sessions, or place you in one of my current workshops. Email for more information. Readings I'd love to share my work with your classroom or group! I have presented my writing in many venues; from local libraries and community writing centers to national and international conferences and literary events. For more information, or to schedule a reading or presentation, send an email. Personal Writing Sessions / Manuscript Consultation & Critique I work with writers at all levels, including those in the first stages of their project, as well as those nearing completion of a manuscript. Writing projects are as unique as writers, and sessions and manuscript consultations are tailored according to project needs. The charge for consulting is $60 per essay, story, chapter (up to 20 pages), or one hour session. $750 for a full manuscript. $300 for six writing sessions. Email for more information. Life Stories I've had the honor of interviewing and recording the stories of people from various walks of life! My background as a professional counselor means I know how to listen, respect, and occasionally nudge interviewees, while my writing experience helps to uncover and shape meaningful personal vignettes. I’m happy to work with family members looking for help to record a relative's stories, as well as individuals wanting help writing or formulating their own stories. These projects tend to be special for all involved, and I hope to do more of them as time permits. Email for more information.
