What I’m looking for…
Whether it’s a murder that needs solving or an adventure worth risking your happiness for, I’m looking for women-forward and LGBTQA+ fiction and poetry from inspiring women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ voices (see our submissions page for our list of acceptable work).
I am looking for stories that celebrate strong, vulnerable women, trans and LGBTQA+ persons. I want stories that inspire me to do better, be better, and understand more.
I want stories that enlighten me and give me hope. I want stories that teach me something new, show me places I’ve never been, and help me to experience the world through a different lens.
If you believe your story or poetry conveys this, I’d be happy to take a look at your writing.
Have you always wanted to write a novel but have no idea where to start?
Do you want to write that memoir or nonfiction book you’ve been saying for years that you were going to write? Have you felt a powerful need to share your story because it will have a positive, lasting impression and impact on the lives of others? Do you believe your story will contribute to or truly inspire others in a meaningful way? Do you believe it will help others to heal?
Or do you have a novel that you have been dying to write? Have you had an idea for years but didn’t know how or where to start? Is writing something you have always wanted to do, but every time you open your laptop, the white screen blinks back at you and your mind fills with doubt?
Then the Meraki Writing Masterclass is for YOU!
Have you already started your novel or book, but you need help finishing?
Are you struggling to finish your book? Keep revising the first chapter or chapters? Do you not know where your book is going? Have you arrived to the middle of your book and feel stuck, like you or the characters don’t know what’s going to happen next? Do you know what happens in the end—the climax—but don’t know how to get there from the start of the book?
If so, I can help. Let’s start with your free 15-minute consultation via phone. I’ve been giving and receiving writing advice and editing for more than 10 years. I love stories, I love helping writers, and I love sharing my writing knowledge.
