I find my greatest joy in helping people tell their stories and achieve their writing goals.

​

For more than ten years, I’ve taught creative writing to hundreds of students as a faculty member at Gotham Writers Workshop. In addition, I’ve coached dozens of writers one-on-one through their individual projects—some all the way to publication.

​

I love working with passionate writers, as well as with people who simply feel they have a story to tell. Where you are in your creative journey doesn’t matter to me; I’m drawn to the process of helping ideas take shape and stories come alive on the page.​ Whether you want to strengthen your craft, get unstuck in the middle of a project, finish a manuscript, or grow your platform, I’ve navigated all of those paths myself and would be glad to support you on yours.

​

I can help with:

• Overcoming creative blocks

• Short manuscript critique (short stories, essay, poetry packets, or novel excerpts)

• Full-length manuscript critique

• Nonfiction book proposals

• Developmental editing for early-stage projects

• Literary journal and magazine publishing guidance

• Growing an online platform to increase your chances of landing a book deal

• Ghostwriting personal stories—or those of a loved one—into a memoir
