The Writing Studio
Writing begins with permission — to explore, to risk, to follow an image or a question wherever it leads. In my workshops and private sessions, we generate new work through thoughtfully designed prompts, close reading, and sustained attention to craft. You will leave with fresh material, clearer direction, and renewed momentum. The emphasis is discovery first — then shaping. For writers ready to revise or submit, I offer manuscript consultation and guidance in organizing individual poems or a full-length collection. Together we look at structure, sequence, coherence, and the larger arc of your work, so that what you send into the world feels intentional and strong. My debut poetry collection, In the Needle, A Woman, was the winner of the 2024 Donna Wolf Palacio Prize, and I bring that lived experience of shaping and submitting a book to our work together. From first spark to finished manuscript, I offer steady partnership in your writing life. Begin here. Share what you’re working on, and we’ll shape the path ahead together.
Writer’s Retreats
An oasis from the noise of daily life. These long weekend retreats take place in beautiful, spacious homes designed for light, quiet, and creative focus. There is generous, uninterrupted time to write — the kind of sustained attention that feels more like a residency than a workshop. Mornings and afternoons are devoted to your own work: drafting, revising, walking, thinking. Optional generative prompts are available for those who want them. The emphasis is depth and immersion. In the evenings, we gather for shared meals and intimate salons, where writers may read new work, exchange thoughtful feedback, and engage in conversation about craft and creative process. The atmosphere is warm, rigorous, and deeply supportive. You leave not only with new pages, but with renewed clarity, connection, and momentum. Interested in upcoming retreats?
