Miscellaneous writing-related projects:
Over more than a decade of freelance writing, I’ve worn a few hats—travel writer, creative nonfiction editor, workshop leader, queer archivist, researcher, advocate.
This page brings together a few of my miscellaneous projects, the things that reflect my interests and passions.
Resources range from a press guide for creatives to an oral history essay on queer homesteading in the Hudson Valley to my workshop on writing about estrangement.
