30 Stories in 30 Days
DATE: 4 Weeks Starting August 3, 2026 TIME: Asynchronous via Writing Workshops This generative workshop is chock full of 30 writing prompts for short story writers. Whether you write micro fiction, flash fiction, or short stories, these 30 prompts are meant to inspire and support you in this unique writing challenge. You've heard of NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month), where poets write 30 poems in 30 days, and you've probably heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), where writers try to write a novel in a month. Now, you can do the same with short stories. Whether you're writing to a specific theme, assembling stories for a collection, or want to try writing a series of connected stories, this workshop will explore new contemporary structures like The Tryptich or The Wikipedia Entry. Please note: This workshop routinely sells out. If you're interested, register early! |

Journaling for Writers
DATES: Four Weeks Starting December 7th, 2026 TIME: Asynchronous via Writing Workshops Journaling is proven to boost mental health and help focus your thoughts — and for writers, it can be so much more than that. In this creative writing workshop, you'll learn a range of journaling techniques geared specifically toward the writing life, exploring journaling not just as a way to process and track your thoughts, but as a method for improving your craft and building a sustainable career as a writer. Writers are observers, and one of the best ways to keep track of your observations and ideas is through a dedicated writing journal. Over four weeks, we'll cover the fundamentals of journaling for writers: tracking your writing, managing large ideas and projects, tracking submissions, setting goals, revising in a journal, and more. Along the way, you'll experiment with popular journaling methods—from bullet journaling to morning pages—to discover the approach that fits your life. |

Self-Paced Course: Writing Resistance Through Erasure, Found Text & Visual Poetry
DATE: Ongoing

Hybrid poetry forms can be a powerful form of resistance. From Jerrod Schwarz’s erasure of Trump’s inaugural speech to Niina Pollari’s black outs of the N-400 citizenship form, contemporary poets are engaging with the world through text, creating new and challenging works of art. Heralded by the rise of the “Instapoet,” visual works are a way to take poetry one step further by crafting new forms and structures that often transcend the page.

My Teaching Philosophy
What It's Like to Take One of My Workshops
I teach primarily online via Wet Ink, a self-paced learning platform. Occasionally, my workshops are live via zoom. Each workshop is crafted to the topic, usually taking place in 4-weeks where the student can jump in and participate as they are available. My method for each workshop is to read as much as I can about the topic, and then distill the most useful advice out there. I utilize materials from a variety of sources from books to online articles to excerpts from other writers. Most of my workshops have a mix of video and text materials.
Love What You Write, Write What You Love
As a writing instructor, my goal is to help writers find what they love to write and learn how to love their writing. My workshops focus on empowering students to grow, learn, and understand their creative practice. While feedback is valuable, I believe that writers must be self-motivated to achieve progress. I equip writers with tools that complement their unique style, voice, and perspective.
I encourage genre fluidity and the adoption of modern writing methods, rather than being confined to the traditional canon. Reading diverse literature is crucial to developing a broad perspective and a well-rounded writing style. I strive to inspire my students to break free from the mold and develop their originality. I believe that success lies in being true to oneself and developing a personal style that stands out from the crowd. With my guidance, students can tap into their creative potential, embrace their unique voice, and unleash their full potential.
What I’ve Learned from Teaching Writers
Historically, writing workshops have used a method of critique that I believe may not be suitable for all writers. The method of having a writer remain silent while a group critiques their work can limit the understanding of the work, especially for marginalized voices, queer writers, writers of color, and writers with disabilities. Sometimes, a manuscript’s cultural context is crucial. Therefore, I often experiment with alternative critique methods.
One way I help my students improve their writing is through positive responses. Instead of criticizing, students only provide positive feedback or ask questions. This approach helps students appreciate what they did well and respect each other's work. It also teaches them that writing involves identifying both the strengths and weaknesses of a piece.
Another method I use is to have the writer ask questions about their work instead of receiving critiques. As writers, we often have a skewed perception of our work. We might believe x is wrong when it’s really y or z. This method encourages writers to interrogate their own writing, while showing them how others perceive the work. It also places the writer in the position of power over their own writing, versus feeling like they must please every reader.
Critique is essential in identifying what the writer may have missed in their work, but it should not be a place of disrespect or harshness. Beyond the classroom, students need to learn ways to receive critique and learn from feedback. Being a good citizen of the writing community also means being professional and having the freedom to dismiss feedback that is not helpful to their goals.
Conclusion
To sum up, I aim for students to learn how to deal with self-rejection and imposter syndrome. Creating a community can be a great way to combat self-rejection. When you hear another writer confess their fear of submitting a story or uncertainty about how it will be received, you realize that every writer faces these fears in their own way. Every writer is unique, and one person’s definition of success may differ from others. There are no fixed rules. My aim is to help students identify their passion and write about it.

What I’ve Learned from Teaching Writers
- Your voice matters. One of the touchstones of my workshops is the idea that every writer’s voice matters. I encourage students to learn what works for them and also how to hone their voice so it is recognizable.
- Every writer has a unique approach to the creative process. In my Writing Life 101 works, students learn how to incorporate writing into their daily routine. During the class, we explore the different stages of writing, from generation to publication.
- Writing is a personal experience driven by each student’s diverse background. I lead workshops that are designed to inspire writers and help them unleash their creativity. These sessions are filled with prompts that cater to all genres, and I encourage students to use tactile prompts like art or memory to spark their imagination.
- Innovation comes from experimentation. I find that writers enjoy learning about the past and how others have broken the rules, as it can help them to become more innovative in their own writing. As Picasso once said, "Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist." I teach a found poetry workshop that uses newspapers and other found materials to create visual poetry. We delve into the history of this medium and how it has been used throughout the years.
