Creative Writing Coaching Session with Catina Bacote

Catina Bacote, 2021 BMC resident and writer has generously offered the following experience of creative writing coaching: 

We will have a one-hour virtual creative writing coaching session. You might bring a work in progress to discuss. You can read an excerpt and share your goals and questions. I will serve as a sounding board and partner as you think through your project. We can also talk about the business of writing, including publishing in literary journals, applying for residencies and fellowships.

Here is some of Catina's work: 

• Heavy Lifting - The Offing
• Eighty-Three Questions About the Death of De’Sohn Wilson: An Ongoing Investigation
