writIng Together

I have experience co-authoring stories that resonate with me, and as a writing mentor and support. While I am fully booked in this capacity at present, please contact me if you would like to discuss a future project.

Giving and receiving feedback in a safe and well facilitated environment has been really important in the development of my own work. I believe that the right kind of writing groups can help develop rigor and excellence in writing, while also honouring and nurturing mystery and the creative impulse. Based on this premise, I offer gentle, non-hierarchical yet directed writing retreats and groups where writers at all stages can hear how their work is received by others.

I am also a certified workshop leader in the AWA method and supported through the affiliate network - this globally used method - one of the most popular writing workshops in New York - has a long history of working with agencies in workshops in places of detention, homeless shelters, schools, churches, and other groups. Read more about this approach and its philosophy here. I am sometimes able to offer free or low-cost outreach writing workshops for disadvantaged groups, faith communities, and others on request.
