Poetry Services
do you Need help with your poetry?
• With the time and dedication a poet must pour into writing a manuscript, a manuscript can feel like an extension of a poet. I know. I've felt the same way. When you have a group of poems that comprise a full-length manuscript, how do you organize the poems in order to create a continuous flow? Do any poems need to be revised? I'm here to help.
• Have you hit a roadblock with a poem? Do you want to improve your poem but you're not sure how? Are the images in conversation with each other? Can the metaphors / similes / symbolism be stronger? I'm here to help.
• Are you having trouble finding literary journals / presses who will give your poetry a publishing platform? Is the whole submission process intimidating? I'm here to help.

Poetry Manuscript Coaching
A fresh set of eyes on your poetry manuscript to elevate it to the next level!
• A Manuscript Workshop to recommend a table of contents so that your poetry collection is a cohesive whole rather than standalone poems. I also provide a limited amount of revision suggestions to specific poems.
or
• In addition to the Manuscript Workshop, I provide an intensive one-on-one consultation where we'll meet on Zoom throughout the process to discuss your poetry collection. I provide revisions for each poem as needed to ensure the quality reaches its full poetic potential.
Both of these services are fully customizable based on your poetry style and needs. My aim is to help you be/become the best poet YOU can be.
Workshop A Poem
In a supportive and encouraging workshop, I'll provide specific suggestions that I believe will elevate your poem to the next level. By the end of this workshop, my sincere hope is that you'll feel excited to return to the poetic page with a new framework in mind to improve your poem.
• Written comments on a poem (No Zoom)
or
• Written comments and a workshop (With Zoom)
How To Get Your Poetry Published
