✨Writers I know! (And writers I don’t yet know but would like to!)✨

A handful of weeks ago, I launched my creative editing services. If you’ve been trying to wrangle a short story, personal essay, flash, or even a whole book, I’d love to collaborate.

Happy to help out the team as new contributing editor for Columbia U’s @thelineliterary. Writers/teachers/friends: if you have a veteran in your line of sight, send them my way. I’m open to all things but especially interested in post-discharge stories, as well as non-US vets.

[O. Edwin Ozoma @eau_eddy]

@DaniDecatur writes characters it’s a joy to spend time with. This story, with its sweetness and saline, goes well with a cup of black tea and a simple omelette in the morning. You’ll love it.

@baumansbrain I LOVE this show lol

[Danielle Decatur @DaniDecatur]

Oh, @surlybassey thank you for writing this essay about being a mom, a writer, and on the job. One of my favorite parts: “There were so many unknowns. There are still so many unknowns. But maybe the only thing that we need to know—that there is faith, and many ways forward.”
