I'm a mama and writer and teacher. I've been helping mothers tell the stories they need to tell since 2006. My first book, Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers, was published by Viva Editions/Cleis Press (May 2012). My memoir, Ready for Air: A Journey Through Premature Motherhood, was published October 2013 by University of Minnesota Press. I teach "Motherhood & Words" online and at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. I'm interested in writing and teaching and motherhood and where these things intersect.
