    I am a scholar of literature, a writer, and an editor. Previously on the faculty at the University of Arizona, I have nine years of experience designing and teaching humanities courses. As a literary critic with a record of peer-reviewed publications and a published creative nonfiction writer, I am skilled at providing clients with feedback on both academic and creative writing, as well as genres in between. Having taught college courses for many years, I am adept at providing clear and compassionate feedback to those who identify as writers as well as those who do not. Past and current clients have described my editing as at once meticulous and generative. A scholar as well as a creative writer, I can produce content for a wide range of clients, even those who need assistance making their technical writing more clear.

    Hi there, I'm award-winning and -losing writer and comedian with a background in journalism. My unique resume combines a rigor for research with interview skills and a sense of humor. In my past lives, I worked as an entertainment reporter and political columnist, earning bylines in The New York Times, New York magazine, The New Yorker, and plenty of other places that don't have New York in the title. My first book, about young people overcoming political alienation, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2019. More recently, I completed a dark comic memoir and accompanying standup hour that will tour this fall. My ghostwriting experience over the past seven years ranges from business websites to self-help manuscripts, and my most recent collaboration is a book advocating music education with the composer and pianist Chloe Flower. Writing samples are available upon request, and I would love to talk on the phone so you can get a sense of my energy and what I can bring to the table. The most important skill I can offer your project is connecting people skills with my visionary capacity for telling one hell of a story.
