WRITING COACH!
Hurrah, June is coaching again!
Interested? Get in touch! I'd love to work with you and help you be your most creative self.
I am currently taking on new clients who could use help with their writing. Zoom meetings, in-person, or feedback on submitted pages. I can help you with issues of story development, characters, editing, staying motivated, "finding the story," writer's block, and more! Open to genres: memoir, short stories, middle grade novels. Contact me for more info.

Word Salad, the monthly open literary mic, has returned! Now, with a revolving cast of lovely guest hosts. Started in 2018 by June, she is happy the series is continuing after she had to step down from hosting last year because of problems with her hearing. But the event continues! Woot woot! Free and open to the public, and always a blast. Everyone is invited to come and share 3 minutes of original poetry, fiction, essays, or "none of the aboves." Theme for October: TBA. (Mention the theme in your writing, take home a small prize!)
