Sean Singer has been one of my most trusted readers for over a decade. His vision for and grasp of the possibilities of a work-in-progress are ever-sharp and completely dependable. He is the poem’s compass.—CM Burroughs, author of The Vital System and Master Suffering

 
 

About Editorial Services

I offer services to help people with poetry and with academic prose. These forms are in some ways opposites. Poetry is about metaphor and bringing things together, whereas academic prose is about analysis and taking things apart. Both forms, to paraphrase Stanley Kunitz, require digging into the pit of the self and then finding ways to dig out again.

Writing is tantamount to thinking, and the first goal of writing should be to create the person who will do the writing. The voice in a piece of writing should be an intelligent, human voice speaking to the reader. I can help you create the writer and the writing.
