What I'm Doing
Summer in my part-time MSW program started. I'll also be attending my MFA residency at [insert low res MFA program here]. (Sorry, trying to be vague about it, but I'm not that subtle. I'm also freelancing as a writer and editor for different clients. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me or visit one of the links above. I do great work!
Workshop Season Calendar
Because this summer is when writing conferences and workshops take place, I've listed the conferences I'll be attending this summer (or in general) and if you'd like to hang out, please do! All of these workshops are selective and application-based, so I'm flattered and honored that these workshops chose to invest in my work!
- McCormack Writing Center Summer Workshop
- Creative Nonfiction workshop with Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya in July
- My MFA residency!
- Allegheny Workshops
- A newer workshop led by editor Alexander Rigby, with a tiny cohort of six people. I am studying FICTION at this workshop.
- Secret other workshop with a professor who rejected me from their MFA program LOL
Looking Forward To?
