Testimonial
"I feel so grateful to have had Jamie read and review my manuscript so closely and with such careβto the prose, overall arc, the politics, everything. I found her detailed editorial feedback on pacing and character development critical to getting the manuscript to where I'm excited to query.
We worked together on a full draft however I can see Jamie's mentorship also being incredibly beneficial to folks still sketching a draft.
She's one of the most exciting writers in Australia, and this translates also to her editorial work: she can speak to the business while staying true to her collaborator's creative project and practice. I can't recommend Jamie enough."
- Taylor, novelist and essayist

Workshops
I lead workshops for writers at every level, focusing on craft, manuscript development, and the exploration of new techniques.
My previous experience includes guiding both professional and emerging writers private colleges, universities, and creative organizations,
as well as inspiring creative expression in school-aged students.
Each session is designed to foster growth, build community, and encourage meaningful conversation. I have facilitated workshops for the
