Poetry Critiques

I have had numerous poems accepted for publication in children’s print and online magazines. I’ve written a how-to poetry ebook for the education market. I have taught poetry classes online and in-person for the last four years. I also spent two years as poetry editor for Wee Ones magazine. I bring all of this experience to my poetry critiques. I would love to offer any guidance or suggestions that I can to help you help your poetry sparkle!  Email me.

Study Guides

Your fabulous book has been published, and you are busy building a website, building a social networking presence, booking school visits and bookstore signings, and oh by the way, trying to write that next book!

I have written numerous lesson plans for educational publishers as well as study guide and back matter material for many books, including my own.
