My Client Promise.

I only take on the client projects I can handle, and I turn the work around quickly.  A couple hours for a cover letter is just as critical as a long-term project, and everyone gets my personal, hands-on attention.

Clients include real estate firms, state-wide and national developers, several large state-wide not-for-profits, national not-for-profits, private schools, insurance companies, a mainland-based transportation consultancy, and more.

 

The Rest of the Story.

Program Fellow  & Writer – Paris American Academy Creative Writing Workshop, every July, a magical month, a writers’ community sharing stories and words in Paris.

One-on-one consulting, tutoring and mentoring – working with young writers just figuring it out, whether it’s college essay prep, English comp classes, tutoring, or learning how to tell the story.

Teaching –  Wandering Educators, an online mentorship program for traveling teens.  Check out the program, curriculum and faculty here.

Writing workshops –  local Honolulu writers, a virtual group of essayists, and another virtual group of novelists cranking out our epic best sellers.

Board Member – Hawaii Meth Project where I’m constantly blown away by the horror of the addiction and the resilience of those who survive and come out the other side.
