Frequently Asked Questions

I am a performer, a writer, and an occasional judge of performance and writing. If it falls in those three areas, drop me an email. However, I am not in the business of editing books for other writers unless I am paid a substantial amount for my labor. I am not interested in event planning nor catering for events. I do not have time to offer consulting nor give free advice beyond what I have already publicly shared. Please visit vallejopoetrysociety.org for some useful links about publishing and area open mics.

I will consider it. If not I can forward it to the Vallejo Poetry Society membership. Please send me an email. I am more likely to submit if you at least provide a gratis copy of the anthology or magazine.

I do not have the budget to buy your services. Please do not send me unsolicited emails offering SEO, web design or book promotion. I am not interested. If you continue to do so your email address will be marked as spam. Thank you.

The most I can do is perform a poem for a cause at your event. I have a limited budget and physical limitations, so I am unable to donate or volunteer in other capacities for your campaign or cause at this time. I also do not endorse candidates for office.

I can write an occasional poem based on a theme, perform a feature set of poetry at your event, serve as a judge of performance or writing, or host an in person poetry open mic.

While I have taught self-publishing and writing poetry for causes in the past, I am not trained as a teacher, so I am not in the habit of giving workshops. It requires a lot of effort on my part, and my schedule is already quite full. You may wish to inquire elsewhere.

If it is a short poetry book and you would like me to write an official blurb, please reach out, and I will let you know yes or no. If I say no it is due to a lack of time.
