Now Offering Consultations for Creative Nonfiction Writers

Hi writers, I am now offering two different types of consulting to creative nonfiction writers with a finished manuscript or questions about how to navigate their writing life goals.

I offer developmental feedback on completed personal essays or memoir manuscripts. I bring MFA training and nine years of experience in writing and publishing.

This service includes:

a 20 minute introductory meeting

a written report with developmental feedback

and a Zoom or in-person meeting to allow space for questions and followup

If you’re interested in hiring me for a manuscript consultation, please fill out the contact form for rates and more information.

Borrow my brain for an hour to get clarity on your creative nonfiction process. This is a great option for:

- Nonfiction/memoir/personal essayists who want to brainstorm everything from career questions, book concepts, essay ideas, ideas for where to submit their work, etc, but don’t need written feedback.

- Nonfiction/memoir/personal essayists who aren’t sure whether an MFA is an appropriate next step.

- Nonfiction/memoir/personal essayists who generally feel stuck on their work in progress or in their writing life and want help exploring what might get them unstuck.

- Nonfiction/memoir/personal essayists who want to gain clarity around their goals.

- Nonfiction/memoir/personal essayists who need help being directed to resources that can help them meet their goals.

If you’re interested in hiring me for a creative nonfiction writing life consultation , please fill out the contact form for rates and more information. Please note that although I think they’re fantastic, this service is not available to fiction writers or poets.
