Hello my fellow writer! Let’s help you get your book written, polished, and published!

I’m a traditionally-published author and award-winning writer with stories in places like the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, GQ, The Week, and on NPR’s “All Thing’s Considered.” I help other writers through my private courses and my popular workshop at Stanford. My students have landed literary agents, traditionally published with big New York houses like Penguin Random House and Hachette, self-published, won awards, and been featured in places such as Harper’s, the Los Angeles Times, Today.com, Ms. Magazine, and The Atlantic.

I love helping writers share their genius with the world!
