You are committed to developing your writing practice, but aren't sure where to start. You know you want to study your craft, but you aren't sure what people mean when they say that.

​

You find professional literary spaces intimidating and would like more information regarding how to navigate them. Everyone seems to know about grants and fellowships and retreats and contests, but you can't figure out how to apply for those things or how they might serve you.

​

You are process-oriented and want to create a sustainable writing practice that is compassionate, realistic, and flexible. You value your relationship with your writing and want to protect it from self-doubt, mean-spirited critique, and the pressures of the marketplace.

​

Your primary goal is not to become rich and famous, but to nurture the part of you that is excited about what language can do. You understand this means your writing process may be slow and do not rely on writing as a primary source of income.
