One of the best parts of being a writer is being a part of a community of creative people. In order to be a good citizen of that community, I believe that it is important to share information, to support the work of other writers, and to engage in discourse that helps uplift and embolden everyone to use their voice. 

I am proud to have published three full-length collections, eight chapbooks, and to have received numerous nominations for Best of Net and Pushcart Prizes despite having no MFA or formal poetry training or connections to academia. This is what makes me certain that everyone can find success with their own work. In that spirit, I am happy to announce some exciting new ways for us to connect.

Fees for these services will be reasonable and negotiated on a sliding scale to ensure access to as many writers as possible.
