Syr is an incredible teacher and mentor

There is absolutely no way I would have been able to complete a first draft of my memoir without their ongoing support, enthusiasm, and creative generosity. Our sessions are so dynamic and inspiring and I often leave having generated more work. Having Syr 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.”

FAQs and Details!

  • I am an art top and imaginary friend. I help writers, storytellers, artists, composers, and all kinds of creatives identify their dreams, reconnect to the joy and magic of their art, and get their work out into the world through workshops, 1:1 coaching and developmental editing. I work from a queer and speculative bent, but all expressions and genres are welcome here. MORE!

  • With schedules, deadlines, encouragement, inspiration, and laughter! Prepare to meet the full force of my theatre production background, my writers’ room experience, and my 10 years of developmental editing, AND also my belief that art must be joyful, restful, pleasurable at every step to be sustainable. We are going far, we are going brave, and the only way to do that is to celebrate along the way. Details and rates HERE.

  • Check out my fee structure here. I work in pre-reserved blocks with discounts for longer blocks, but we’ll agree on a payment schedule that works for you. I always offer at least one free and one 1/2 price spot in my own workshops. Get in touch if you need that. You can also sign up for my newsletter for a free writing experiment and places to submit.

  • No, you haven’t lost touch, matey. Yes, yes YES you belong. C’mere. Sit. Listen.


    Art is a self-liberatory practice that belongs to everyone. It’s part of being alive, along with collective liberation and love (however you define it) AND the last time I checked, we live in a world that does not value artists. If you’ve lost touch, or if you’re just getting here, it’s not your fault. You’re here now. And you’re just in time!

    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, caregivers, and long lost artists are especially welcome.

  • I hear you! I am a trans-disciplinary artist and the co-founder of two arts organizations. I KNOW this wild art life. I have worked with hundreds of artists (novelists, short story writers, composers, illustrators, visual artists…). I’m here because dreaming is a muscle, and visioning is a muscle, and building a lifelong art practice is the gift! It would be my pleasure to walk this road with you.

Here’s me, Syr, busting through artistic blocks!
