WHY WORK WITH ME?
I'm the author of two poetry collections published by two of the nation's leading independent presses, and for more than twenty years, I've helped writers deepen their craft, publish their poems and books, gain admission to competitive MFA programs, and build lasting literary careers.
My coaching combines expert editorial feedback with practical strategy, accountability, and encouragement. Every session is personalized to your goals, with hands-on revisions, clear next steps, and the support you need to keep moving forward.
Whether you're writing your first poem or finishing your first book, you'll leave each session with greater confidence, a stronger manuscript, and a clear path ahead.
Not sure if we're a fit? Schedule a free 15-minute discovery call, and let's talk about your writing and your goals.
