I write, teach writing, and coach other writers.
My essays and fiction have appeared in Gulf Coast, The Kenyon Review, The Paris Review Daily, and frequently in Literary Hub and Jewish Currents, where I’m a contributing writer. I hold M.F.A. degrees from Brooklyn College and the University of Iowa, and have received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, Yaddo, and the Constance Saltonstall Foundation, among others, for my work on several books-in-progress. I was a 2023-24 GIDEST Fellow at The New School.
I’m interested in subverting conventions of narrative, staging divergent voices in conversation, and using the personal as a prism for investigating questions of social and political consequence.
My book Feels Like Trouble: Transgressive Takes on Teaching, Writing, and Publishing is forthcoming in 2026 from the University of New Orleans Press, and my booklet of lyric fictions, Because Sex Is a Story & Sex Is a Song, is available.
I also help administer Beth’s Cabin, a rustic solo writing residency in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. If you are a writer who would enjoy working in a cabin with no electricity, no running water, no phone service or internet, and plentiful access to wonderful hiking, please don’t hesitate to be in touch.
