What if I told you that you already know the solution to your biggest creative block? During this master class, I'll present a six-part creative unblocking exercise that can be used or reused at any phase of any type of creative work… and you might find that it’s the only writing exercise you'll ever need.
In this course, you will:
Reconceive the idea of writer’s block
Relearn how to solve it
Learn from the experience of others with similar challenges

It’s easy to write more; all you need to do is add words. But how many words can you cut from a piece of writing without damaging its meaning? In this course, we will practice removing such words. Our work together will include an introduction to line editing, a study of various types of omission and silence, and a confrontation with the limits of AI writing tools. We will also maintain a daily writing practice outside of class. Our goal is to make our writing as clear as it can be in order to frame the deepest mysteries at its core.
In this course, you will:
Participate in exercises and discussions
Maintain a daily writing practice
Gain access to bespoke class resources

My editorial clients have gone on to sign with literary agents and successfully publish their books both domestically and abroad. I provide detailed line edits and comments on all aspects of the writing including plot and character development, structure, what to add and what to cut, and a holistic assessment of the entire project. After you review my notes, we’ll have an hourlong Zoom discussion.
