Creative Support

Through workshops and individual consultations, I support others’ creative writing. I come to this work after encountering challenges in my own writing process and seeing how much better I moved forward when I shared my writing with others and got supportive feedback. My approach draws on work I did while earning a Certificate in Applied Compassion from the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University School of Medicine, and it encompasses my work towards certification in trauma-informed care through Clinical & Support Options, Inc. My formal experience providing writing support to others extends back to when I was an Adjunct Instructor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and worked with students as they created proposals for off-campus projects.

Writing Consultation

In this 55-minute virtual one-on-one session, we’ll have a conversation about your writing that you’ll share with me ahead of time. It’s enough to share fragments, phrases, or slippery seeds, but fully coherent and cohesive pieces are welcome, too! Using my intuitive guidance, we’ll discuss up to five pages of your work, engaging in a dialogue focused on how the writing landed with me, what issues it raised, or what questions I have as a reader about why you, the author, made the choices you did. The purpose of the session is to help you discover or develop a more deeply trusting relationship with your voice, your ideas, and your process and to create opportunities for your own insights about the piece to continue emerging. This is an especially good option for writers who are looking for individual conversational support on an as-needed basis. Writing from any genre is welcome, but I have the most experience giving feedback on memoir.
