Thanks for visiting my writing website. This picture is of me instructing at a book festival in Indianapolis in 2010.

Me during a critique session at the 2012 Midwest Writers Workshop. I freelance critique query letters, synopses, book proposals and novels. Check out my Editing Services page for all information.

Me on a panel at the International Women's Fiction Festival -- Italy, 2008. I got to wear those cool headphones and hear translations when questions were not asked in English. Quite a thrill!

Instructing at Muse at the Marketplace in Boston. One of the only times I've tried to pull off a vest.
