Teaching
I've taught writing and literature in about a million different contexts--and with students of all ages and experience levels--during the past two decades. At the moment, my teaching takes two main forms:
One-one-one writer coaching and lessons for fiction writers in search of goal-setting and accountability, craft skills upgrades, help getting started or with the revision process, or a bubble of support where their writing and creativity matter!

Lit!Commons: The Loft Literary Center's online writing community and learning hub, Lit!Commons offers weekly access-anytime lessons from 10 teaching artists, plus weekly live sessions--and I lead the Revisionary pathway there! Click here to learn more at the Lit!Commons website.
