Questions related to services
Will you get me a gig in Vallejo?
No. I no longer help to organize spoken word events, I do not run my own open mic show, I do not own a venue myself, and I've had a few instances where my vouching for poets has later backfired. I recommend that you attend the well established open mics in Solano County, visit local […]
Will you come teach?
No. I have taught self-publishing and writing poetry for causes in the past. However, I am not trained as a teacher, so I am not in the habit of giving workshops. It requires a lot of preparation on my part, and my schedule is already quite full. You may wish to inquire elsewhere.
I run a small press or magazine. Will you submit?
I will consider it. Please send me an email. I am more likely to submit if you pay your contributors or at the very least provide a gratis copy of the anthology or magazine. I am more willing to forgo payment if the anthology is a fundraiser for a political or charitable cause, or deals […]
I would like to sell you my service for authors. Are you interested?
Short answer: NO. If you send me unsolicited emails, your email address will be marked as spam. Thank you.
I'm fundraising. Can you help me?
I am willing to perform at left leaning political demonstrations and charity benefits. I am unwilling to formally endorse candidates for office, make donations, or volunteer in any capacity other than performing poetry.
Can you help me edit my project?
Short answer: No. I have carpal tunnel syndrome which limits my ability to create. I will not take on unpaid editing work due to the time consuming nature of such projects.
Will you review my book?
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.
What services do you offer?
I am willing to perform a featured set of poetry for a minimum of ten minutes. If given enough notice, I can write an occasional poem about political issues to be performed at a demonstration, or a poem in favor of a cause for a charity benefit.
