PAY WHAT YOU WANT / NOTAFLOF !!!!
I specialize in literary linguistics — where language and literature intersect — applied to poetry, very short fictions, and blurred genre. I live within the world of independent lit mags and zines and lean toward the misfit, the strange, the experimental, and the comic, but would love to get to know your particular voice and thematic attentions.
In an editorial consultation I tend toward a seminar + workshop style based on the work you send me, but will cater to your desires. Developmental edits, line edits, conversations, silent work accountability time — it’s all gravy baby!
