I write creative nonfiction and essays, teach creative writing, and help writers start, continue, and finish their books.

With artist LK James, I am half of the collaborative print publishing project, Paper Choir.
​
With novelist Amy Shearn, I host an annual writing retreat at the Red Clover Ranch in the beautiful Wisconsin Driftless. 
 
I wrote a book about my mother called Joy Enough (Liveright/W.W. Norton). 

For five years, I wrote Lost Art, a newsletter about the creative work of (mostly) dead women and a finalist for the Andy Warhol Arts Writers Grant. The final installment of Lost Art is available as an artist publication printed and published with LK James. 

Currently, I'm working on a hybrid text centered on the Northern California singer-songwriter, Kate Wolf. I'm perennially writing a novel.

Here you'll find more about my mentorship and manuscript consultations, as well as current and upcoming workshops.
