Convinced your life is too ordinary to find a compelling story?

Wish you knew more about the tricks and techniques of personal essays?

Nothing you write seems to sound like you?

I can help.

I’m a writer, editor and teacher, and in workshops and private coaching, I help students leap each of these hurdles and more.

The result is a process that is transformative rather than tedious, educational rather than clerical, and satisfying rather than stressful. Students write to discover themselves, rather than simply to relate what they already know. They learn to think more broadly, to write more openly, and to edit more exactly. Working together, we find the story they didn’t always know they wanted to tell until it was on the page.
