About this Gig

HAVE YOU HIT A WALL WITH YOUR FICTION?


Let me open the door.


I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from St. Mary’s College of California. I am a Pushcart Prize nominee and a former MacDowell Colony Fellow. I was a participant in the famed Clarion Workshop at UCSD for Sci Fi/Fantasy and Horror. And have attended numerous other residencies and workshops.


My 20-plus years immersed in the writing world has given me an intimate understanding of how a story works, whether it be literary or speculative or nonfiction.


My critique includes:

  • Comprehensive detailing of your story's strengths and challenges
  • Specific suggestions on improvement 
  • Breakdown of craft elements, including characters, action and dialogue
  • A follow-up consultation to discuss any questions that may arise

I have helped other writers see publication, garner prizes and win acceptances into MFA programs. I truly want to see you realize your potential as a storyteller! 

My speciality is giving clear-cut examples of how to improve a piece, which may include taking a section of yours and rewriting it to illustrate.

References available upon request.
