I am a Black Disabled writer who recently moved to Goldsboro, NC. I am not picky about what I write and am interested in learning how to write new things/forms. Am also interested in revision, critique, and accountability. Also some fun! (because like the saying goes... "all work and no play...") I have participated in NaNoWriMo and NaPoMo. I enjoy writing poetry, fiction, and CNF. I have projects that I wish I could finish (as in publish) and would love a virtual group to write with that may transition to in-person as restrictions around COVID-19 begin to lift in Wayne County. 

Hello, my name is Cheryl,  and I'm a writer from Santa Fe, NM. In addition to maintaining my music blog, Undead Goathead, I also write editorials, poetry,  and fiction.  

I wrote my first book, tentatively titled The Black Moon of Lilith,  for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) 2020. It's an urban fantasy/supernatural horror story about a librarian's assistant who stumbles upon 
the Grim Reaper's cloak. If published,  this will be the first book of my Land of Entrapment series.

I look forward to networking with fellow readers and writers with similar interests.  

I'm a late bloomer to dedicated writing. In July 2021 my first collection of poetry will be published. I tend to write pulling from my ancestors spirit's of trauma and marginalization. I often write about what haunts me.

I'm a life-long writer and a life-long student. I am interested in working with other writers to improve my craft, support their craft/s, cross the borders, swim for the farthest shore.

Work Synopsis: I've published poems in several anthologies, zines and online sites, and have written chapbooks, The Character Poems (Chez Ches, no longer available) and "Bliss, Not Weight," the latter of which is published in Ides, an anthology of 15 chapbooks published by Silver Birch Press. I've also written seven plays, two of which have been produced either in Los Angeles or New York as full stage productions or in festival readings (You Told Me That the Carousel Was Crystal, Inside, ...and Then the Heavens Closed, Noah's Arc). I've also written, produced and performed four solo theatre works. I'm currently finalizing my newest play and a full-length poetry collection.

I am an unpublished writer working on my first mystery novel. I participate in writing groups in Germany and we regularly critique each other's texts, but as I am writing in English, I am looking for feedback from English native speakers.

I've translated extensively from classical Chinese poetry, the results of which a few dozens have been published in specialized and general literary journals.  I self-published a dual language book of 50 poems from the Tang major poet, Du Mu.  Have been keenly interested in formal verse both in translating and in writing original poetry.  Am trying to expand my range both in form and content, moving ever further from academic treatments.  Lately have experimented with original personal free verse and English haiku; also speculative fiction, genre poetry.  I value workshops for their multiple perspectives and challenges.

Hi! I'm the digital director at Poets & Writers. I enjoy writing poems, personal essays, and short stories. My essays have been published in Black Renaissance Noire, Midwestern Gothic, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and forthcoming in PANK. My work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and my first short story was selected as an honorable mention for Glimmer Train's annual Family Matters contest. I'm currently at work on an essay collection. Always happy to meet new writer friends to discuss writing projects and goals.
