I'm thrilled to be teaching a new remote course at StoryStudio Chicago: the Novel Support Group! Before the first meeting, I'll poll the students to find out what sort of help they're looking for, then design lesson plans based on the responses. www.storystudiochicago.org/classes/clas...

I work with the actual best people in the small press world and I am BEREFT that we are going to lose Pedro (who's been my teammate since 2017!), but I'm also VERY EXCITED for this opportunity to get to know + love another brilliant mind! Short fiction friends! I know I have them! APPLY TO JOIN US!!
