I am an author and writing teacher from Edmonds, WA, a seaside suburb north of Seattle. I’m also a copyeditor, proofreader, and writing consultant. I earned my MFA from Goddard College, where I later helped launch the Lighthouse Writers' Conference and Retreat in Port Townsend, WA. My creative non-fiction appears in the New York Times, Salon.com, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Brainline.org, Bitch Magazine, and elsewhere. My first book, a memoir titled The Shame of Losing (Red Hen Press, November 2018) was nominated for a Washington State Book Award.
