What can you expect from me?

Insightful, honest, and encouraging feedback
A balance of critique and praise (because both are important)
Reader and writer-focused notes

No matter what, I’ll meet you where you are. My only goal is to help you feel more confident with your writing. I work with new and experienced authors alike, and hope to help you take your project to the next level!

This is specialized feedback designed to take a close look at your representation of marginalized communities. This is crucial to writing authentic representation, especially if your own lived experiences do not include these things (but also, even if they do).
Reader-focused evaluations of your manuscript are indescribably helpful for any author. Designed to help you understand how your story lands with someone coming in cold, just like a future reader (or agent), I’ll give you honest, thoughtful feedback that highlights both what’s working and what might need another look.
Writing a solid query letter can be overwhelming! Let me help you feel confident in what you’re sending out to agents.
This service is for writers who don’t need a formal critique right now, but want someone in their corner. I’m there to talk things through with, help break through blocks, brainstorm, and boost confidence.

Thoughts on Struggling

There’s a common message they all seemed to communicate in on way or another, and it’s summed up nicely by Alysa Liu. I have a feeling many of her fellow Olympians share this perspective.

Book Review: I Who Have Never Known Men

It really is difficult to nail down exactly what I loved about this one, because it’s literally the overall story itself. It’s the way it’s written. It’s the melancholic, lonely feeling of it. It’s the expansive, life-spanning nature of it. It’s the way it still manages to feel intimate despite its scope. It’s everything.

The Undeniable Force Behind Writing: Humanity

I’ve always written as a way to understand and express humanity, whereas now it feels more like I write as a way to connect with and celebrate it. That shift feels important.

Becoming Water

We’re only a few days into the new year, and we’ve awoken this week to yet more news of chaos in the world. So, I’m scrapping my planned post in favor of sharing a short missive on the central theme of my life at the moment. I am becoming water.

Tips For Beta Readers (+FREE Beta Reading Checklist)

I was scrolling Tiktok yesterday, and a writer popped up on my FYP asking about beta reading. It got me thinking back to the first couple manuscripts I beta read, and how completely lost I felt, even though I’d taken creative writing classes and knew how to provide feedback to writers.
