I want to work with you on your messy-but-awesome YA manuscript!
I’ve taught creative writing at the University of British Columbia MFA program and at The Writers Studio at Simon Fraser University, workshopping YA works-in-progress. Novel length projects are my favourite, so do be in touch with your proposal.
After thirteen books with Knopf Random House, Penguin, and Orca, you can be sure that I know a thing or two about getting your manuscript into publishable form.
