Gratitude

I am grateful to the people here for their support of my work and to the organizations in the list below for the gift of time, funding, or both.

Grants

  • Empower Digital
    This organization supports small businesses in Massachusetts and provided the grant that made this website possible.

Residencies

  • Monson Arts
    Thanks to the vision of the forward-thinking Libra Foundation, Monson Arts hosts ten artists and writers ten months of the year and provides each one with a stipend, meals, housing, and a workspace. Located on Lake Hebron Monson, ME is the last town on the Appalachian Mountain Trail before the 100-Mile Wilderness to Mt. Katahdin.

  • Hedgebrook

    A writing retreat for women identifying authors, Hedgebrook is known for its radical hospitality and commitment to women’s stories. Located on Whidbey Island in Washington State, Hedgebrook offers two- to four-week residencies.

Workshop Scholarships

  • The Shipman Agency Workroom
    I received a scholarship to take my first-ever prose class in 2021, at a time when I needed both.

  • Artist Trust EDGE Professional Development Program for Writers
    As a member of the first cohort of EDGE writers, I received much-needed financial assistance.

  • Hugo House
    Beloved Hugo House offered support from time to time, when I needed it.

I am also grateful to Christina Balch, who listened to what I wanted in a website and then made it happen; to my sister-in-law, Celia Creek, who made the beautiful cover for my chapbook, from which we extrapolated to make this site.

My thanks to Wayne Buck for the headshots. Molly Dempsey, thanks for applying your superior knowledge of website copy to mine.

Thanks to everyone whose testimony appears on this site; I’m grateful for your support!
