Making WRiting FOr a Living Less SHitty and Mysterious, ONe Skype sesh At A TIme

Fundamental to my approach to writing as a career and really any professional or personal endeavor is the desire to be doing something useful for people. I aim for all of my work, as a teacher, editor, and writer to give something people to walk away with at the end of it, something worth hanging onto and using. I focus on actionable, practical advice and information that writers can use to navigate the current industry landscape in my classes and will shut up now and let them tell you that The classes and the Extensive materials I supplement all classes with  actually work. They were generous enough to vouch for my work, so I’ve written some about theirs too. The classes and sessions available for purchase are below just a few of these splendid princes of Maine, these kings of New England.

NIKO MARAGOS

A critic whose generosity toward his SUbjects emerges from  expectations of them, Niko’s creative intuition Is Uniquely Attuned to Which Cultural BOundaries Are WOrth Honoring, Which Are Worth Challenging, and Which Must Burn TO The Ground. From pop stars shifting the paradigms of gender and power expectations on stage to the saints of muted affect and rich hues in your local Orthodox church, Niko has never met an icon he can't extrapolate meaning, joy, and healing from in his work.

MORGAN JERKINS

Morgan is a writer whose work and conduct as an individual has consistently challenged my own sense of what living and working creatively with integrity looks like. I am grateful to have encountered her in the creative and personal spaces we did where I was challenged to rethink just how much potential to challenge power and embrace exuberance that I had in my position as a writer. When it is so easy to fall back on feeling beleaguered and put-upon by an industry that can be indifferent when not downright hostile,  Morgan makes clear that those realities do not foreclose on the responsibility to get up again, and get a good word in edge-wise.
