Generous mentorship has so often kept me afloat as I navigated making a life as a writer, so here’s to paying it forward!
Excited to be serving as a mentor for the Dzanc Books Creative Writing Mentorship Program, along with a whole bunch of talented folks.
The program launches today: check it out!
All mentors donate our time: proceeds from the mentorship fee support the Dzanc Writer in Residence Program, committed to increasing literacy and the literary arts in public schools.
Chicago-area friends, join me on Tuesday, January 2, 6:30 p.m. to kick off the new year at Curbside Books & Records! I’ll be reading with the wildly talented Christine Sneed.
