WISP What I Offer
Poetry workshops, fiction workshops, general creative writing.

I generally talk about my life as a writer, why I chose to be a writer, and how I write. My passion is to get students writing. I read poetry, offer playful exercises, and engage students in language that sparks their interest. By bringing in a range of material, I challenge students to find the poem or story that speaks to them and find their own voice. I can craft a workshop to fit your curriculum as well.
