As a multidisciplinary writer,  I am interested in a range of genre and styles.  My ideal peer group is supportive, well-read  and a strong ecelectic mix of writers with developed craft, fair-minded, with a sense of committment to the group as well as one's own individual investment.   

I am a semi-published author. Most of my writing experience, though, hasn't been gained by working with publishers or editing for well-known authors. I have spent years behind the scenes. I'm aware that my work is eclectic and often doesn't fit in one category or another. My goal is to legitimately publish my work before this year is over with, with a subsequent goal of being well on my way to a second legitimate publication by the middle of next year. These are lofty goals, I know, but I am taking the necessary steps to get there and am really looking for a group of individuals who have gone through this same process and can share their experiences.

I write memoir and creative nonfiction and have pieces published in a number of literary and mainstream outlets. I write mostly about life at the intersection of grief and joy, navigating the in-between, and post-traumatic growth, as well as about FH (familial hypercholesterolemia), the genetic lipid disorder that has affected several members of my family. I am currently querying/submitting my memoir, The Full Catastrophe.

I am working on several pieces of CNF, flash fiction, prose poetry as well as the first draft of a novel. I am also working on a limited-run television series.  I am looking for a group that can help me move forward in these projects in a disciplined and critical way.

I've been a screenwriter and advertising writer for 10+ years and have recently begun writing prose. I have participated in memoir workshops by invitation at Curtis Brown Creative (UK) and Vermont College of Fine Arts Post-Graduate Writers Program, as well as Life Writing courses at Oxford and a year long diploma course in Advanced Creative Writing: Non-Fiction at Cambridge University. Through these relationships, I have continued with small writers groups for memoir & CNF. I am looking for a group to work on non-fiction lyric essays, short and flash non-fiction, and personal essays with the hopes of publication. Seeking other writers with experience and familiarity in these genres.
