I am currently an MFA student at the Bennington Writing Seminars. I live in Minneapolis and my home community is the wonderful The Loft Literary Center at Open Book. If you live in the Twin Cities area, please join me!

My other writing community, The Writer’s Studio, is available online for students worldwide. You can sign up for writing workshops or craft class podcasts. Craft class is where you learn to read like a writer. Click here to listen to a sample class.

You can also join me at:

Goodreads: a community for readers and writers both. Review and recommend books, start discussions, join groups, and make friends. My favorite

MIPO: poetry and art for creators and lovers of both.

Creative Expressions & Explorations: my blog about creative journaling & personal growth. I have quarterly contests for my readers, so check in and win stuff!
