Happy Disability Pride Month! To celebrate, I wanted to create a list of books with disability representation so everyone can diversify their reading. I encourage everyone to pick up at least one of these books this July!

I'm not shy about being neurodivergent. After a post I made on Threads about being a neurodivergent editor wanting to work with neurodivergent writers went viral, people had questions. How are my business practices different? How does this affect my editing?

I hope this blog will answer those questions and inspire my fellow neurodivergent writers and editors!

As my time as poetry editor for Mikrokosmos comes to end, I've started reflecting on how much amazing work I've read over the past four years. I got the immense privilege of reading hundreds of poems from all over the world, and I wish I could have published so many of them. Rejecting poems was definitely the hardest part of the job. World Poetry Month is coming to a close, so I thought I would pass along some of what I've learned so you can have the best chance possible at getting accepted!

Working is hard. No one needs it to be harder, especially us creatives! As we wrap up neurodiversity acceptance month, I wanted to share a list of disability accommodations you can implement for yourself to keep burnout at bay and help you write and edit without putting more pressure on your body or brain.

Happy National Haiku Poetry Day (April 17th)! After attending a workshop with the amazing Maryfrances Wagner, Missouri's poet laureate, at the Sigma Tau Delta conference, I was inspired to keep researching and writing haiku.

I had a blast at the centennial Sigma Tau Delta conference this past week! One of the highlights for me was the Publishing and Editing panel by Therese Holzapfel and Robin Alvarez. I was so inspired, I just had to write a blog post about my main takeaways and some ideas on how both writers and editors just starting out can apply these ideas to their career.

Get ready to make the most of your bookish conference experience with these expert tips. From packing to presenting, I've got you covered!
