What I Learned From Homeschooling My Kids The First Time
:: Homeschooling how you think you should be homeschooling is impossible. Let go of all of those preconceptions you might have had, and your kids will learn.
Anxiety Disorder in Disordered Times
Anxiety disorder can’t be solved with hand sanitizer. With a full pantry. With social distancing. None of those things matter at all if you have anxiety disorder.
When I Give a Talk About Rape
:: Even the most well-meaning listener can’t help but feel, in some small way, that if the victim had just made a better choice along the way, the whole messy rape thing could have been avoided.
Publishing Co-ops and Collectives: A Love Story
:: In an author co-op, identifying strengths and delegating jobs is mission critical. It is arguably the entire point of an author co-op. It is where the magic happens.

:: CW. Because even with all of the essays on sexual assault that I’ve written and published over the years, there’s still one story that I haven’t told. But with Epstein’s ugly face everywhere, I need to tell it, now.

Launch Party Photo Gallery: THE FREELANCE ACADEMIC Comes to Town
:: Most of the time, like most writers, I work alone and wonder if what I do matters. That’s why launch parties and book events are so important. They remind us that there are people at the other end of our words.
