6-MONTH INTENSIVE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Aside from translating fiction, which has been my master class in fiction writing, I am an essayist and memoirist, and my work as such has focused deeply on personal narrative, reported writing, and criticism.
I’ve published long-form essays in Astra and The American Scholar, been profiled for Electric Literature, and have had a short film made about my work. What does that mean for you? I know how to build relationships, how to create a social media presence & where the opportunities are.
Here’s what my customizable, 6-month 1:1 mentoring program includes:
Weekly/Bi-weekly 90-minute virtual sessions tailored to the mentee’s needs and intended to shape narrative, pace, and character development
Generative exercises, writing prompts, topic deep dives
Ongoing manuscript editing, suggested auxiliary reading
Advice on publication, submissions, editorial outreach & social media
Guidance on the marketing aspect of writing
Ongoing email and text support for the duration of the program
If you are working on something else — an essay, a proposal — I will tailor this program to your specific needs.
A PERSONALIZED STUDIO MODEL GETS YOU FROM A BLANK PAGE TO A POLISHED, PUBLISHABLE TEXT
From one-off sessions to a 6-month intensive program, get structured exercises, sustained drafting time & actionable line-level feedback.
