Before we even start working together, it’s very important to me that we’re a good fit.
In other words, we need to be in alignment like when the moon meets the sun during a solar eclipse.
If you are a writer who…
feels like they have to hide parts of their identity to get published
wants to write novels that go hard and shake up the literary scene
tackle issues like race, gender, politics, etc. in their fiction with fervor
struggles with planning, polishing, pitching, and prospering as a writer
identifies as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and/or marginalized in any way
has attended a prestigious creative writing workshop, but wants more guidance
has attended or graduated from an MFA program, but still feels like they’re floundering
…then chances are good that we’re good a fit.
Chances are very good if you liked reading any of the following books and if you want to write socially engaged, beautifully written books like them.
These aren’t dealbreakers when it comes to working with me, but it would be nice if you believed in any of the following things on this list:
Tarot is fun.
TTRPGS are also fun.
Crystals are fun, too.
The oxford comma is a way of life.
Education is a human right. Period.
Trans women are women. Full Stop.
Climate change is very real, not a hoax.
It’s “free speech,” not “free from consequences”.
Publishing should not be concentrated in New York.
Virtue signaling isn’t cute. It’s harmful, and it needs to stop.
Everyone should have nearby access to fresh fruits and groceries.
Boycotts are a privilege; not everyone can afford to participate in them.
As for dealbreakers, please read them below carefully.

Still want to work with me?
Good. Here’s what you’ll get.
If you’re a writer who wants to work with me, you’ll get…
An anti-racist educator working to dismantle barriers, not just talk about them
An empathetic Secular Buddhist who sees your humanity, not just another guru
An enthusiastic cheerleader invested in your writing career, not just your book
An equal accountability partner in the process, not just an overseer with a whip
An intrepid working writer who makes money, not just an avid lover of words
Sounds good?
If so, here’s what I need from you.
If I decide to work with someone, I expect them to be…
A self-aware individual with their own opinions, not just a mindless puppet
A compassionate human who cares about their well-being, not just an empty shell
An eccentric thinker that rejects convention when necesssary, not just a yes-man
A community-oriented empath who cares about others, not just themselves
A lifelong learner who invests in their education, not just a trend follower
