Using my experience as an author, scholar, publisher and teacher, I can support you in your own endeavors.

In consultations, I'll give you some resources and support for questions like:

• How do I get published?

• How do I find a profession in publishing?

• I have a book idea, now what?

• I want to stock my classroom/library/ bookshelf with good books...what are they and where do I get them?

Sensitivity reading, or diversity reading, is a process in which a trained sensitivity reader edits your work to ensure your language and content around marginalized communities is as respectful and accurate as possible.

I will review your manuscript and recommend edits if able. I can also refer you to a wider network of other sensitivity readers!

I teach adults and children, providing:

• Creative writing instruction for all ages

• Lectures for adults on childhood and children's literature

• Book reviews

I edit all kinds of work, providing developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading for:

• Fiction/Nonfiction

• Poetry/Prose

• Children's, middle grade, young adult, and adult manuscripts

• Academic writing for publication

• Theses/Dissertations
