IMPRINT is a four-month, one-on-one mentorship space for writers who want sustained, thoughtful attention on their work — not just feedback on individual pieces, but accompaniment through a stretch of real making.

This is intentionally small, slow, and grounded.

My approach blends lyric attention with editorial precision. I read as both poet and listener, attuned to rhythm, syntax, and silence. We work across language boundaries, genres, and expectations — cultivating the voice that only you can carry. Mentorship here is conversation, not correction. The goal is not polish, but resonance.

Imprint offers a space to make and unmake: to write across languages, lineages, and forms while building a practice that can endure. Together, we cultivate attention, revision, and renewal — the art of sustaining your voice without erasing its edges.

A space for sustained thinking-with — not a quick fix.

Every voice leaves an imprint — let’s trace yours.

HE THREE TENETS OF IMPRINT

These are the pillars that guide how I mentor — not as rules, but orientations.

CRAFT

Language, structure, lineage, choice — we look beneath the surface to understand what your work is actually doing.

COMMUNITY

Your work belongs to networks of influence, inheritance, and exchange — whether you claim them or resist them. Naming these connections helps you choose your lineage intentionally, without imitation or erasure.

VISIBILITY

Not exposure or performance. We consider when your work is ready to travel, where it might live, and how to share it without losing its integrity.

This is mentorship, not management.

IMPRINT is spacious but structured. Boundaries keep the space honest, spacious, and sustainable — for both of us.

Underlying all of this is a gate-free ethic: transparent criteria, shared language, and no mystification of authority. You don’t need permission to be here; you need curiosity, commitment, and care for the work.

How the Four-Month Cycle Works

Each IMPRINT cycle includes:

  • One live session per month
    (60–75 minutes)
    A space for close reading, project-level conversation, and recalibration.

  • Asynchronous feedback
    Focused responses to agreed-upon pieces — enough to keep the work moving without overwhelming it.

  • Occasional prompts
    Used sparingly, when the work needs a new angle or entry point.

  • Manuscript-level attention
    We keep the long view in mind: how pieces speak to each other, where energy gathers, and what wants to be carried forward or released.

Commitment & Cost

IMPRINT is offered in four-month cycles.

  • $500 USD per month, or

  • $2,000 USD paid in full (optional)

Enrollment is limited to 4–6 writers per cycle to maintain depth and attention.

Because the container is small, participation is by application.

How to Apply

  1. Complete the intake form
    I learn about your project, your questions, and your needs.

  2. Discovery conversation (by invitation)
    A short call to confirm timing, expectations and whether this is the right season for your work.

  3. Invitation + enrollment
    If it feels aligned, you’ll receive next steps to join the cycle.

Not every application moves forward — that’s part of keeping the container sustainable and honest.
