I am an award-winning author, educator, and speaker.
My monthly newsletter Woman. Warrior. Writer. features women authors and reflections on writing and creativity. Intersectionality: Manuscript Workshop is open for enrollment.
I started writing (terrible) poetry in the seventh grade after reading Jane Eyre. On weekends and holidays, I worked the register at my parents’ grocery store on Long Island. During breaks, I read books on a milk crate. One of these was Jane Eyre, which a kind customer, a former schoolteacher, had gifted me.
