Loft Mentor Series Fellowship in Poetry and Creative Prose

I am so honored and slightly stunned to be able to say I am now a Fellow! The Loft Literary Center is a well-respected literary hub in Minneapolis with amazing programming, classes, and other supports. I’m a children’s literature fellow in their mentorship program: the 2025–2026 Loft Mentor Series Fellowship in Poetry and Creative Prose, It’s a cross-genre community of twelve fellows in fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and children’s lit and everyone is so creative and thoughtful. We meet monthly through potlucks, seminars, and small groups with our incredible guest mentors. Plus a few public readings and general support. I can’t wait to see what’s in store over the next 16 months or so!

The Loft Mentor Series is supported by grants from the Jerome Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts and by Friends of the Loft.

2024 - That’s a wrap!

it was a blockbuster year over here in my little studio.

From starting exciting new things with a new agent, to winning PBParty and receiving interest in my own author-illustrated book dummy, to the successful launch of Archie and Pip’s First Day of School filled with my illustrations. I have to remind myself how much has happened!

With all this growth, it was finally time to update my website, and here we are! Stay tuned for what comes next!
