Welcome! I am a writer, editor and professional storyteller who helps clients discover, rediscover and deepen their authentic voice as well as sculpt good ideas into refined, structurally-sound articles, essays, brochures, and manuscripts (among other written communications). With over fifteen years of publishing experience, I've worked for authors, publishers, businesses, non-profit organizations, and universities alike to cultivate and promote the power of stories and compelling writing.
In partnership with poet and award-winning literary journalist Joy Stocke, I am a principal of Wild River Consulting and Publishing (WRCP) Services which offers comprehensive manuscript evaluations, coaching, social media guidance, publishing advice (in a rapidly changing landscape) and enthusiasm for the writing process itself. Joy and I have had the honor of mentoring many talented students and clients.
I also serve as Executive Editor for Wild River Review, an internationally renowned non-profit cultural literary magazine, for which I commission articles and curate content as well as write my own column and forthcoming book Triple Goddess Trials. Noted by the UTNE READER for Wild River Review's exceptionally interesting interviews, I've also profiled many artists, writers, philosophers, poets, film-makers, photographers, and business leaders who are making a beneficial difference in the world, including Pulitzer-prize winning James McPherson, Academy-award winning Pamela Tanner Boll, philosopher and bestselling author Alain de Botton, and recipient of the MacArthur Genius Award, Edwidge Danticat.
Tip Two: FIND YOUR METHOD: And go there! Do you like to start with an image, sound, color or story? Are you attracted to characters and mapping out their features first? Whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction, it's good to identify where you are most likely to start writing. Check out the rest of the tips. |
