"Thanks so much for the encouragement, Jill! It could not have come at a better time. I have been a little lost in my mountains of research, unsure of how to turn it into anything other than a dissertation. But just a word of support was enough to…"

"Ah, the writing space. I worry that I spend so much time finding the "right" place to do my work that I never get anything done. I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who feels both that the space is important and that at the end of…"

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- A twenty-something farmer's daughter turned academic (field: women in U.S. history). When my career crashed along with the economy and the rest of my generation, I found that writing helped me pick up the pieces. I am currently working on a project that is part personal narrative and part historical analysis that explores what it might mean to be a woman in the twenty-first century. Tentatively titled "Disinheritance."
- Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
- As a researcher at Yale, I help faculty write their academic books when they are on sabbatical, though I am hoping to make the shift to something more accessible. Other than that, I have some random Op Eds and blog posts out there in the world. I primarily write liturgies, weddings, and other services for churches hoping to engage inter-religious dialogue, open and affirming theology, and gender-neutral and violence-free language, or cathedrals that are appealing to a diverse tourist audience rather than a set congregation with mutual beliefs. Lots of jazz, spirituals, poetry, and community, very little dogma.
- My writing is:
- Nonfiction
- Services I offer to other writers:
- Happy to exchange writing and preliminary edits with other beginning writers. Although I am just finding my own voice, I am a footnote queen and a solid editor.
- I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:
- No formal title. Just a bunch of grad students who are sick of hearing their own academic voices who meet in the basement of SY to share creative writing.
- I found out about She Writes from:
- The OpEd Project
