MENTORSHIP

Would you like to receive focused, individualized attention on your work? I am available for a limited number of sliding-scale individual mentorships. I work with both creative writers and visual artists. Together, we can focus on supporting the development of a specific project or we can more generally support your creative practice. I’ve worked with some people for many years and others for just a few conversations. Our time together can be in person, online, or on the phone, it’s up to you. This work is part of my creative practice and it’s always a true honor for me to support another’s creative growth. Please be in touch if you are curious, I’d love to hear about you and your work.

MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATIONS

Would you like some focused, individualized, constructive support for your poetry or prose manuscript? I have years of experience doing this profound work with others. I’d be honored to support your vision. Together, we will observe, refine, and complete your manuscript.

You’ll receive:

An initial meeting (phone, online, or in person) so we can get to know each other. We’ll discuss your inspirations, questions, goals, and the work you’ve done so far.
Extensive written observations of the manuscript’s strengths and potentials.
A follow-up meeting to discuss my observations, your questions, and next steps.
Once you’re ready to submit the manuscript for publication, I can also offer advice on this process based on years in the world of publishing.
