CONSULTATIONS
The consultations offered below will be personalized, as I treat the time that I have to meet and hold space with individuals with great importance. In these spaces, my priority is to create care, accessibility, warmth, connection, and mutual comfort, which are all the grassroots values and approaches that I've been taught, and choose to uphold in my own work and flow.
Emerging writers that I have worked with for poetry and prose have gone on to publish in renowned literary journals in Canada, and achieve prize / award nominations, and receive invitations to feature at various established reading series.

Description
A laid-back general consultation of approx 1 - 1.5 hrs, where we can discuss of the following topics, concerns, or questions you have while getting started.
This list provides the areas of expertise for which I have precise, nuanced knowledge and experiences. They are areas I am confident to shed light upon, and to be able to support and guide in directions that are helpful:
- the getting started trajectory for writing and publishing
- submitting and publishing work for literary journals, prizes, and chapbooks
- major online and print literary journals in Canada best suited for you and your style(s) of writing
- manuscript submission and publication tips
- taking care of yourself before, during, and after the submission / publication process
- a breakdown of what rejections really mean, and the valuable insights you can gain from rejections
- getting involved at literary events; getting involved and finding volunteer opportunities with literary journals
- reading as that equally important buddy to writing
- attending and finding literary events
- looking for and participating to read at literary events
- networking, community, finding your peeps!
- for students, balancing school life and writing life, and looking for ways that these two areas can benefit and help each other
- the joys of creative academia - blending and incorporating academic discourses in new, creative forms of writing and expression
- writing and research
- finding and navigating writing programs or classes outside post-secondary institutional formats
- finding and navigating writing programs or classes within post-secondary institutions
- editing your work, which is as important as writing
- teaching writing workshops for the first time
- downtime and rest, navigating writers block or imposter syndrome
* I understand that there are many other subjects that encompasses publishing and one's writing career, but acknowledge that I may not be the best person to comment on them due to my position, background, experiences, and/or insights. I'm happy to hear any suggestions out, but I will always be very honest about what I'm able to offer.
Cancellation and time change policy: a full refund will be provided if given 12 hours notice. Any cancellations after that will be subject to a $40 fee that accounts for the time and resources spent preparing for the session. I am able to accustom time changes within 8 hours notice. For any in-person appointment changes after that, you may be subject to a fee of up to $40 for any transportation fees incurred if I have already travelled for the location.
