About Finch and Squirrel

 Mission & Philosophy

Founded on a love of children and stories and a desire to help people realize their potential as storytellers, Finch & Squirrel guides aspiring children's book authors of all experience levels through the writing and self-publishing process with author services, educational programs, and support resources.

I am committed to fostering diverse perspectives, making the creative process fun and accessible, and equipping people with the confidence, knowledge, and support they need to write, publish, and share their stories with the world.

As a certified Amherst Writers & Artists writing workshop facilitator, my approach to working with writers (in workshops and one-on-one) is rooted in the belief that every person is a writer, and every writer deserves a safe environment in which to experiment, learn, and develop craft.  

I believe…

…that everyone has a story to tell.

…that every writer has a unique voice.

…in the value of amplifying and preserving diverse voices.

...that writing should be a joyous and generative endeavor.
