I am a freelance and creative writer, and have been lucky enough to receive fellowships from Pam Houston’s WritingXWriters and the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. I am the recipient of the Maine Literary Award for Short Nonfiction, the Glascock Prize in Poetry, and the Katherine McFarland Prize for fiction, and my work has been nominated for Best of the Net, the Pushcart Prize, and Best Microfiction. I have participated in panels at various conferences, including BEA, AWP, and the Audio Publishers Association Conference. 

I currently live in the woods of Maine with my wild family and my very tame dog.
