Frequently Asked Questions

How do we know if we’ll be a good fit? Do you offer free consultations?

If you are interested in working with me for a manuscript consultation, or considering joining a class or writing group I am happy to provide a free 20-minute phone conversation. Otherwise, we can email first and see if a call is needed. You can also learn a lot about me and what I believe about teaching creative writing by perusing my newsletter, testimonials and bio.

Do you work with kids who are interested in writing?

No, I do not. At the moment all of my classes are geared toward adult (18+) writers of nonfiction and fiction.

When are you next teaching your writing the body class or intro to memoir?

You can subscribe to my newsletter or follow me on Instagram for the latest information on when I am teaching these classes locally and online.

If you are an organization, arts council, book club or college that is interested in inviting me to teach these classes, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Do you offer scholarships?

I offer a limited number of scholarships or sliding scale packages each year to writers who identify as disabled and would otherwise not be able to afford my workshops or writing services. Contact me here if you’re interested in a scholarship or if you’re interested in contributing to scholarships. 

How can I help disabled writers access your classes and services?

Our classes, our work and our lives are so enriched when we hear from a wide variety of diverse voices. I launched a scholarship fund for writers who identify as disabled when I began teaching my Writing the Body class. I was able to raise two full scholarships that went to disabled writers who applied to attend. Going forward, I would like to raise money for future Writing the Body scholarships, as well as scholarships to attend my other offerings.

Thank you in advance for amplifying and supporting disabled voices.

If you enjoyed taking a class with me, feel free to recommend my classes or writing groups to a writer friend!
