MKB Studios

Welcome! Here you will find current and upcoming classes being offered. There are online courses that range from 4-12 weeks. There is also a new asynchronous class being offered as well as consultations!

The Philosophy

“Workshop” is an outdated term. It implies that art is only produced through labor and that its value is determined solely through economic means.

The idea of the “studio” is to build a community of writers in a setting that is safe and inclusive. It is a space that inspires artistic expression, not one that demands labor for the sake of production.

Consultations

One-on-one consultations are done through email, video/voice calls, and edits. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I can assist with the following:

  • Poetry

  • Prose

  • Writing Program Applications

  • University Applications

  • Publishing Advice

Past clients have gone on to be published in venues such as The Adroit Journal, Puerto del Sol, Crazy Horse, Best New Poets, The Chicago Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, and others, as well as received honors such as the Martha’s Vineyard Writing Fellowship, Youth Poet Laureate positions, and Gold Medal Scholastic Medals. Many were accepted into writing programs held by The Kenyon Review, The Juniper Institute, and The Adroit Journal’s Summer Mentorship Program, and into universities such as Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Columbia.

If you are interested in one-on-one mentoring / feedback, please send me a message through my contact page.
