I love connecting with other writers, readers & artists. Use the form at the bottom of the page to reach out. Here’s a little information first.

CLASSES:

No classes scheduled at the moment. Check back or subscribe to the newsletter.

MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATIONS:

I’ve been teaching writing for over a decade. My favorite teaching experiences come through thesis advising graduate students and working one-on-one with writers on their prose manuscripts. I’ve worked with writers in early stages and final drafts of short story collections, novels, and memoirs.

Some areas of expertise and interest for me are lyric memoir, autofiction, experimental/hybrid forms, speculative fiction, domestic horror/the uncanny, novellas/novelettes, feminist lit, and queer/trans lit. Place-centered, landscape-conscious, ecologically-present writing that centers the more-than-human world is also in my wheelhouse.

All consultations include a written response to your work, with recommendations and further reading list, as well as at least one virtual meeting of 45 minutes.

I cater my editorial and coaching services to each writer’s needs and budget. I charge a standard editorial base rate of $47/hr. or $0.03/word, with a sliding scale on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re interested in working with me, please fill out the form below and I’ll write up a proposal for you to consider. If you have skills (do you cut hair in Eugene or Portland?) or art, music, handiwork, or something else to trade, I’m open to that, too.

BOOK CLUBS & CLASS VISITS:

Book club visits are free, I just ask that at least some members of your group have purchased the book from Bookshop.org or a brick & mortar bookstore. (I’ll take your word for it, but I do like to hear about your favorite local bookstores.)

Creative writing class visits are also free. If your institution offers an honorarium, that’s great, too.
