Consulting
I am interested in working with writers at all stages on their poetry and am open to all styles. A list of services I provide includes:
-Developmental editing (from individual poems to manuscript review)
-Guidance in submitting to literary magazines
-Application assistance (MFAs, awards, fellowships & retreats)
-Personal writing “coaching”
I am happy to work with you asynchronously via email & shared documents and/or video/audio calls. I can provide line notes/edits, a letter of overall impressions or simply general feedback.
I am a poet with over five years experience as a poetry instructor or private tutor. Past students have had success publishing in literary journals and have described my approach as warm, honest, and supportive. My goal is to help you achieve your writing, publication or career goals as best as I can.
Please contact me with a description of your project/needs.

Angela’s reading selections, writing prompts, and personal feedback are incredibly helpful and motivating. Her thoughtful and incisive feedback has been a formative part of my growth as a writer. She’s an inspiring teacher and I can’t recommend her highly enough to other prospective students.
