I support UCSB’s junior faculty as a writing consultant and event facilitator for writing retreats on campus and at the beautiful UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge. I add structure and support for the writing retreat, with a focus on community care. I also offer 1-1 consultations to researchers who are working on book-length projects.

Join us for a week-long writing retreat at a lovely hotel on a quiet beach on the southern coast of Crete, Greece. Away from the crowds, Peitho’s Gift offers writers a peaceful place close to nature and steeped in history to connect with their creative spirit and partake in the joys of an intentional creative community.
