Creative Writing
Although I approach all my
projects creatively, fiction (novels, novellas and short stories), creative nonfiction, memoir, personal essays and poetry are really in a category
of their own, approached with a different sensibility than business, news or popular feature writing.
A graduate of San Francisco State University's Creative Writing Department (Bachelor of Arts, 1997 and Master of Arts, 2000) I've spent over seven years workshopping creative
material with dozens of different writers, including MFA candidates,
published authors and local poets. I was the Literary Arts Editor at SF Station for two years, reporting on Bay Area literary happenings and working with local artists to revitalize the book and poetry scene. I love literature and poetry, and while I'm working on my own stories and poems, I'd love to help you with yours.
Manuscript Consultation
If you are an emerging or unpublished author, you would be wise to invest in my editorial services before you submit your manuscript to a publisher or agent. If you are planning to self-publish, you'll definitely want to have me review your work before you submit it for publication (POD editors are expensive!).
If you know that you need an editorial eye to catch grammatical, stylistic or readability errors in your book, chapbook, novella, short story or essay, please check out my editorial background. I've worked with published and emerging authors, with publishing houses and POD clients, and I'm happy to give you a quote for my services.
If you don't know what you need, why not hire me to review your manuscript? After reading your work,
I can point to the elements that are working well, and walk
you through areas that need help, giving you an in-depth line
edit or a general commentary on your story elements. Email
me for a quote.
