About Jackson
For 15 years, I've taught creative writing to students ranging from middle schoolers through retirees. As the only person ever dual-accepted to the #1-ranked Iowa Writers' Workshop in both poetry and fiction, a summa cum laude USC grad (creative writing / narrative studies), and a widely published poet and author, I help writers find their voices, "kill their darlings," and publish their work.
I've also served as editor-in-chief of a literary magazine and full-time editor of a major Los Angeles theater publishing company, experiences I leverage to help writers self-publish their own writing and/or launch their own indie presses. (It's easier than you'd think!)
Across my undergraduate and high-school workshops, I consistently achieved department-leading student evaluations, many of which echoed the same refrain: "Initially, I dreaded taking a writing class, but thanks to Jackson, I loved it."

In virtual sessions, I employ Iowa-style creative feedback paired with dialectics and the Socratic method—basically, I ask you thoughtful questions interrogating your work, provide line / structure edits, and help you situate it amongst the canon. I believe that (in addition to reading voraciously) writers must engage in rigorous literary conversation if they want to grow. Which other writers' work is yours in conversation with? What intention drives you? Who is your ideal reader? And how can we get your writing in their hands?
I've been a college instructor, professional editor, essay coach, and lifelong word nerd. Let's get to work!

Having been Jackson’s classmate, friend, roommate, and business partner, I’ve seen every side of him. What sets Jackson apart is his ability to guide students through complex, long-term goals without letting them get overwhelmed. On top of teaching the mechanics of writing and critical thinking, he helps his students find their unique voices and build out real, impressive projects from scratch.
