  • One-on-one transformative coaching for writers at any level.

  • Daring editing and dedicated assistance in creating your most powerful book. I specialize in memoir, poetry, non-fiction and the academic humanities.

    I work with all stages of manuscript and process, from conception to pre-publication.

  • Narratives shared and collected to inscribe the moment and hold human voices up to the light

    Experience with disaster zones, displaced people/refugees and with people living outside

    Trauma-informed and culturally relevant listening and documenting

    Seeking the flash openings and fundamentals in a loving ethic

    Resource-sharing and solidarity — its workings in frailty or in health

    Resisting capitalism, asserting kinship of all beings through action

    Prioritizing participant co-creation and ownership

  • I offer energized, generative workshops in poetry and prose

    A safe space to dare, uplift our craft, explore the moment and find that which must be said
