I Wanna Read Your Stuff

My Background

My expertise is in personal essays/memoir, academic writing, craft essays, and hybrid genres, but my background has equipped me to work with any kind of writing. I worked in my university’s writing center–first as a consultant, then as a graduate assistant–for several years, studying writers, the writing process, and theories around tutoring writing. I’ve taught first-year writing and upper-division creative nonfiction. My thesis for my MA in rhetoric and composition focused on self-disclosure in the personal essay, which I wrote about and created a course around. I’ve edited, critiqued, and studied so many different kinds of writing and writers over the years. I love it all.

Professionally, I worked in content marketing for a decade, during which I developed strategies for businesses, created and optimized online content, managed writers, and copyedited my ass off. Though content for the web and creative writing seem like different worlds, both have informed each other in my approach to working with writers. 

I’m also a writer myself. I primarily write creative nonfiction and poetry, though I will occasionally dabble in fiction. I’ve written academic articles, book reviews, and copy for individuals and businesses. I’ll be graduating with an MFA in creative nonfiction this December. 

So, yeah. I’ve got some experience. But more importantly, I believe in the power of writing and I want to support other writers in any way I can. I’m excited to be part of the process of other people’s writing because, let’s face it–no one can do this alone.
