Want to Work with Me?
Freelance Writing, Independent Teaching, Development Editing, and Consulting
From my former life as a business analyst to my current life as a writer, teacher, and publisher, I bring all my experience, enthusiasm, and expertise as a professional and an artist into everything I do.
As a freelance writer, I’ve worked with small businesses and entrepreneurs to complete marketing plans, business plans, corporate/organizational newsletters, and website content. I’ve edited countless manuscripts across genres—fiction, nonfiction, and poetry—and consulted writers on traditional and self publishing, marketing, and more. And as an educator, I have over a decade of experience in teaching and curriculum design, making my approach to classes and workshops dynamic and engaging.
Join Jupiter’s Moons
In a recent author spotlight, I declared that “I've made a commitment to exploring my art as creatively as possible…” Essentially, I am (re)committed to “making art and making love from here on out.” This declaration requires a new level of dedication to centering my work as a writer and artist and opening myself to receive a new level of support for my work and my life.
With an open heart and a spirit of gratitude, I invite you to support my continued work as a writer and artist by becoming a patron through my Patreon page. There are levels of support to fit a variety of budgets, and the benefits of membership include an exclusive newsletter, Jupiter’s Moons, which features my monthly astronomy column, Gimme a Little Space, access to my art (original photography and writing through my Lines and Sight series), previews of work in progress, multimedia content, and more.
Members of The Writer’s World get exclusive perks to support your creative practice, share in accountability, and deepen your commitment to craft.
