Let’s start with the right conversation
Whether you’re reaching out as an individual faculty member or on behalf of a department or institution, this page is designed to help us begin the right conversation, with attention to context, purpose, and fit.
For faculty & scholars
If you’re a faculty member exploring support for your writing, teaching, or workload—and want to better understand which offering fits your current season—you’re welcome to reach out.
You don’t need to arrive with a polished ask. Curiosity is enough.
Common reasons faculty contact me include:
- questions about upcoming programs or retreats
- curiosity about which container fits their needs
- interest in departmental or institutional sponsorship
- a desire to name challenges without needing to solve them immediately
For departments, centers & institutions
If you’re reaching out on behalf of a department, center, or institution, this space is for exploratory conversations about partnership.
Initial conversations are designed to clarify goals, constraints, and possibilities.
Institutions often contact me when they are:
- responding to faculty requests for writing or teaching support
- seeking sustainable approaches to faculty retention and productivity
- navigating polarization, civic strain, or institutional change
- looking to translate stated values into durable systems and practice

- whether you’re writing as an individual or on behalf of a group
- any relevant context you think might be helpful
A final note
This work is grounded in care, clarity, and integrity.
That begins with how we start conversations.
If you’re unsure whether your question belongs here, it probably does.
