Classes to enlighten the mind.

FICTION, NONFICTION, & SCREENWRITING

I believe that writing and reading are two powerful tools bestowed upon humans from the heavens to ensure we keep our minds entertained and our public libraries fully funded through late fees.

Since 2016, I've offered and taught in-person and online writing classes through the High Peaks Literary Center located in downtown Boston. Writing workshops vary between genres—fiction, nonfiction, and screenwriting—and range from one-day classes to eight-week courses that meet in the evenings once per week.

In college, I stumbled into the world of creative writing during the fall semester of my senior year. I was on track to complete my business major that following spring, but I decided to enroll in a poetry writing class just for fun. Well, thanks to the work of poets Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda, as well as poets/memoirists Mary Karr and Maya Angelou, one—or all nine—of the Greek muses smacked me alongside the head and suddenly, I found myself counting in iambs and dactyls as opposed to dollars and cents (or, as my mother would recommend its spelling: sense).

Once I finished my undergraduate degree, I was accepted into the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing program at Arizona State University, where I continued to write, study, and keep my student loan payments in deferment with Sallie Mae. While in graduate school, I fell in love with the works and writing styles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Raymond Chandler, and from there on out, I knew I wanted to publish murder mysteries.

And now, seven years later, here I sit typing at my desk, gazing at the tower of bestselling murder mystery books on my left and eyeing that really good cup of coffee on my right.
