Her essays have appeared on Salon, Cognoscenti, and in the Boston Globe Magazine, The Writer’s Chronicle, Journal News, Writer’s Digest, Zone 3, and elsewhere. Two essays were selected to appear in the anthologies Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cat Did What? and Perspectives on Modern World History: The Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

She offers personal coaching to writers and is an instructor at GrubStreet, an independent writing center in Boston. She also offers private executive function coaching and writing tutoring to adolescents and adults.
January Writing Marathon at The Village Works
Writing is easier in good company, whether you’re plugging away at a book, a blog, coding project, business plan, resume, or letter to the editor—or to your elected official!
Join us for a night of not checking facebook. Meet some neighbors and writers while you’re at it! We’ll have The Village Works’s snacks, coffee, and productivity-optimized workspace to help us shine.
Bring a friend and caffeinate with us for your letter-writing campaign or come alone and finish your memoir in our silent reading room. Rekindle Your Craft, a prompt-driven writing night, will be taking place in the same building, so feel free to come and go between the two events.
Tickets are free but limited!
Rekindle Your Craft: A Prompt-Driven Writing Night
Dear writers,
Has the cold weather been getting you down? Did the holiday season tire you out ? Is your writing stuck underneath the covers unwilling venture out? Let us help you then!
Join us for a productive night of writing using prompts to motivate some creativity. We work from one-word prompts, write for 20 minutes and share our writing with the group if we want to. The idea is to relax, get any kind of writing done, and to leave with some material you can use in the future. Every genre and every level are welcome. Free but please RSVP on the event link to ensure that we have room for you.
We’re graciously hosted by The Village Works, the best coworking space in town. During the same night The Village Works will be hosting a writing marathon that begins at 7pm and goes until 10pm. You can move between events as you wish.

Rekindle Your Craft (and a writing marathon)
Dear writer friends,
I don’t know about you, but as much as I love stuffing and stuffing my face, the whole Thanksgiving holiday stresses me out (but we can talk about that at another time). In the meantime though, grab your laptop and your paper and your cute notebooks and join me for our monthly prompt-writing night.
Come for some inspired hands-on writing time. This time our schedule will be different than our usual spot so we can have you all participate in a writing marathon!
Rekindle goes from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.
Writing Marathon goes from 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm.
We’ll work from an evocative prompt, check in about our work, and hang out afterward. Then you can spend some time working on any project that you want to advance; you will be in good company If your writing is stuck, then we guarantee you’ll be glad you came. Beginner or advanced, all writers of any genre are welcome.
Deal?
Cool.
As always, we meet at the fabulous The Village Works. (the event is totes free!)
Yes. We. Have. Snacks! Please forward this to anyone you know who might benefit from joining. More writers are always welcome.
