Event Description
Our very, very early holiday gift to you: a sure-to-be lively conversation about hilarious holiday hijinks, the “gay science” behind LGBTQ+ culture, myths, and stereotypes, and an inventive, energetic memoir-in-verse. These writers are also performers, as evidenced by their vivid, entertaining, theatrical skills in bringing their ideas and stories to life on the page.

Manuscript Consultations & Private Mentorships
My teaching philosophy is pretty simple: If you care about your story, someone else will, too. My job—and joy—is to help my students hone their craft by looking inward. Because only by looking inward can you learn to write about the way you move through the world. I'm not here to teach as much as I am to hold up a mirror and help you mine your reflection for the things you might not have noticed before or hadn't thought to consider in one way or another—all of the things that make up the fabric of your being, the things that should be radically honored both on and off the page.
This consultation will begin with an initial hour-long meeting and conversation about your work-in-progress. I want to hear about why you started writing your project, and where you imagine it going. I want to know why your project matters to you. We will also discuss any concerns or challenges you face, as well as what you want to achieve by the time you finish your final draft.
Following our conversation, I will then give line-by-line edits, along with detailed editorial notes on your work-in-progress. This can include a nonfiction manuscript, book proposal, book chapters, query letter, essay(s), article(s), work samples, or any other form of nonfiction prose.
