Writing
I work with artists, collectives, and nonprofits to create, edit, and improve their written materials. From grant proposals to mission statements to marketing copy, I can help you communicate the importance of your work with specificity, clarity, and texture.
I draw from my practice as a performance writer and scholar to hone language that accurately and powerfully describes artistic work. I pull from my decade of fundraising and administration experience in the NYC arts scene to offer strategic advice. I can hold the philosophical and the practical at once.
Feel free to reach out for inquiries regarding assistance in:
- grant writing
- artist statements
- residency or graduate school applications
- individual fundraising campaigns
- marketing copy
I offer sliding scale hourly rates based on annual budget.
Dramaturgy
I help artists expand and deepen their creative research. I can watch, reflect, and respond to work in progress, provide rich written description as reflection, and recommend related theoretical texts. I like to build relationships with artists over time to form a shared vocabulary, letting each collaboration include both care and criticality.
