"This information you sent on self publishing was absolutely incredible...$40 - it's truly worth more than that...I did a thorough search of the internet and just couldn't find the answers [before taking this class] - and you answered questions I didn't even know to have, yet. It was amazing."

-Lisa Haynes
Founder of Dakota House Journal

She has been facilitating workshops for 7 years including Creative Writing, Poetry Workshop, Self Publishing Made Easy, Expanding Poetry, and BodyWrites!, all of which have been offered in various areas around the U.S. and in settings such as the Washington State Poets Conferences and MISS Foundation Passages Conferences.
