History

Established in 2007.

I began my business in 2007 in order to build literary community in Lake Tahoe/​Truckee. The Monday Night Creative Writing workshop has been continuously taught since then and is still one of the most popular workshops I offer. As I pulled more writers out of the woodwork, I discovered more needs of the community and expanded to coaching and editing services, including blogging and website content. One of the fastest growing areas of my business is SAT essay coaching/​editing and college application essay coaching/​editing. Recently I have worked with many adults applying to graduate school programs and adults working on professional writing such as articles for publication. I especially enjoy working with teens on creative writing skills.
