Write. Edit. Publish.

I'm a Hawthorne Fellow!

For those of you who don't know the Attic Institute, it is a renowned writing studio in Portland that supports the work of writers through workshops, long-term programs, networking, and writing consultation. The Hawthorne Fellows program is designed to work with serious writers for a five- month period to prepare their pieces for formal publication. I'm thrilled to have been chosen to participate. And it's going to be a busy five months too! My skin will be thicker when I come up for air after hours and hours of intense critique, collaboration, and cry-baby editing sessions with the bestselling writer, Jennifer Lauck, and my fellow Fellows.

As part of the program, Hawthorne Fellows' work will be published in The Boulevard, the magazine that showcases the work of participants. 

My goal will be to make my third book in my trilogy series, RIFFS, not only a great read for my audience but transforming for me, personally, as a writer.

Thank you all for your support! Book number three will be quite good - I promise!
