Individual Mentoring, Manuscript Editing,
I have several private students in poetry and fiction writing (no
more than five at any given time), and I also perform
manuscript editing services. People interested in working with
me should query me about a schedule and are also urged to
know my own work some.
My criticism is honest--I praise what's working, point out what
isn't and explain why it isn't working--and reflects my years of
experience as an editor, writer, writing teacher, and critic. I do
try to undersand my students' personal aesthetics, and try to
guide them based on fidelity to that aesthetic and appropriate
challenges to it.

Manuscript review rates:
- Basic reading: $150 I read the entire manuscript,

organization of the manuscript and its vision, and discuss
what's working, what's not, what's too "there" in the
manuscript, and what's missing.

above, plus I look at poems not included in the
manuscript to see if/how they fit, suggest places to send
the manuscript when it's ready, suggested reading list.
