Event Reviews & Interviews

 
 

Arts & Entertainment

My journalism experience began in Scranton, PA, so it feels fitting to share a clip from the official Scranton wrap party for NBC’s The Office! I also covered plays, literary events, and album reviews.

Concert Reviews

Inspired by my background writing about theater during college, I started covering concerts and music festivals in 2012.

During grad school, I became a freelancer and published concert reviews regularly in print and online. Here’s one of my first.

Interviews

Connecting with artists during interviews helped me to develop skills I’ve continued evolving, from hosting literary events to editing interviews for PR campaigns. Here’s an early interview.

Workshops & Readings

 
 

Writing Workshops

Writing workshops are at the heart of my creative practice. From classrooms to community spaces, I’ve worked across age ranges and experiences to explore creative expression.

Workshops lend perspective, motivate us to achieve writing goals, and can help expand our own creative communities.

I believe anyone can write if given an inviting environment and an engaging entry point. Whether in a classroom or library, a bookstore or a bar, workshops invite discovery and creative expression.

My own experience includes: developing and facilitating workshops for both adults and children, earning a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, and continuously developing my craft at workshops in my own community for over a decade.

Ready to develop your creative expression, polish an existing manuscript, or draft something totally new? Ask about existing virtual and in-person workshops or connect with me to create a custom plan for your goals.

At the Mic

Launching a new series and looking for a curator or host? Booking performers in NYC or nearby? I’ve hosted and curated weekly and monthly series and special events. Let’s connect!

Poetry Projects & Consultations

 
 

Poetry Manuscript Consultations

When we’re immersed in the creative process, switching gears to editorial mode can be a challenge.

I’ve collaborated with writers to edit their works-in-progress, going beyond line edits to fine-tune their focus and re-discover the spark that fueled the project. I prefer a hybrid approach: line edits and scheduled discussions. I find this allows me to give efficient feedback while preserving your voice and making room for discovery.

Whether you’re polishing a chapbook, editing a packet for a contest, or working on a book-length manuscript, I’m happy to connect and see if we’re a fit to take your project to the next stage.

Poetry Postcards

During the winter of 2020, I started offering custom poetry postcards to help send joy during a time of solitude. Years later, it turns out, it’s still fun to get mail.

From my original poems on vintage postcards to hand-illustrated poetry cards and even custom poems inspired by oracle card readings, this project is always evolving. I’m open to ideas!
