ARE YOU READY TO FINISH YOUR BOOK?
WHAT’S THE WILDEST ART DREAM YOU CAN THINK OF? WHAT’S EVEN BIGGER THAN THAT?
Let’s talk!

 

WELCOME!

I am an art top and imaginary friend. I help writers, storytellers, artists, composers, etc, identify their dreams, reconnect to the joy and magic of their art, and get their work out into the world through workshops and 1:1 coaching and development editing.

You can read more below. Or you can schedule a free 30 minute consultation with me here!

Where shall we start?

✨

“I want to read some testimonials.” - Please do! I’ll wait!

✨

“I want to establish or develop my creative practice/ I have so many goals! I don’t know where to begin!” - I hear you. I am a multi-disciplinary artist and the co-founder of two (1, 2) arts organizations. I KNOW this wild art life. I have worked with hundreds of artists (novelists, short story writers, composers, illustrators, visual artists…). It would be my pleasure to walk this road with you. Find out how, or schedule a free consultation here!

✨

“I have a book I need to finish!/ I have a book that isn’t quite working.” - Prepare to meet the full force of my theatre production background, my writers’ room experience, and my 10 years of developmental editing. Check out my Developmental Editing offerings or schedule a free consultation here!

✨

I feel like I’ve lost touch/ I worry that I don’t belong. No, you haven’t lost touch, matey. Yes, yes YES you belong. I specialize in helping writers get back in touch with their creative practice. I have spent 10 years studying creative process, teaching workshops, and understanding how this thing we call inspiration works. Parents and working artists especially welcome. Check out my workshops.

“Syr is an incredible writing teacher, mentor and editor”

There is absolutely no way I would have been able to complete a first draft of my memoir without their ongoing support, enthusiasm for my project, and creative generosity. Caron helps me stay accountable to myself and to my creative process by creating structure and realistic deadlines, yet is always flexible and positive and affirming when life happens. Our sessions are so dynamic and inspiring and I often leave having generated more work. Having Carson in my life is an invaluable lifeline as a creative, I am so fucking grateful to be able to have an on-going professional relationship with them.”

Two shrouds and 60 candles. Packing for a ghost show.
Telling fortunes and tendering spirits now til midnight. Come on by if you need shelter from the gloom.
