June 2011
I have been immersed in a new fiction project having to do with art and vision. More info soon!
I also enjoy freelance editing, with a focus on short stories, novels, and memoirs. I offer in-person or online consultations, help with developing a ms., as well as full edits of complete mss. I have gained a flexible and I hope inspiring approach to this work through years of teaching at Yale and Bread Loaf School of English, and through constant reading of the mss. of fellow writers. I welcome inquiries about editing at harriet_chessman@yahoo.com.
