Coaching Sessions - 25 minute coaching sessions (4 available)
We can discuss any aspect of writing / publishing
that you'd like. I'd love to help talk through areas where you might be stuck,
advise on further study (classes, retreats and residencies, MFAs, etc.),
discuss publishing options, answer questions about agents, etc. and so on.
