About Eleanor
I'm a 2017 MFA graduate from the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Though my thesis was a novel, I've published numerous short stories with literary journals such as Jellyfish Review, Hobart After Dark, Cotton Xenomorph, Rejection Letters, Five on The Fifth, and more. I've been a finalist for Southwest Review's Meyerson Fiction Prize, a Pushcart Prize nominee, and a recipient of the University of New Hampshire's Dick Shea Memorial award. One of my flash fiction pieces was also featured on the podcast, Micro, highlighting short works of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.

Though my teaching style stems from a workshop format, the structure may vary on the student's particular needs, what they enjoy reading/writing, and what they're hoping to achieve with their writing.
Lessons will typically begin with discussing short assigned reading, followed by a brief in-session writing exercise, then finishing up with the students sharing/discussing original work written outside of class.
Given my own intimate familiarity with the labor of polishing and creating, I believe there is always space for a writer to constructively respond to criticism, and that such conversations can be a positive influence on an individual's written work.
Lessons are open to any writer at any age or step in their writing level/career. I am open to writers of genre fiction, literary fiction, young adult, and more. I also have significant experience in workshopping poetry, for those writers who may be interested.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
As a cohort in the MFA Fiction Writing Program at the University of New Hampshire, Eleanor consistently provided thoughtful and concise critiques. She offered unique points of view that helped writers develop plot lines and character development. Her constructive criticism encouraged writers to recognize their own potential. I highly recommend Eleanor as a writing instructor.
Ellie is a highly intelligent, multi-talented, dear soul.
She is very levelheaded and fair.
She can not only shape young minds, but she is kind-hearted and a leading example of a good human being.
I would trust her with my child without a doubt, and I trust her as a tutor as her knowledge is vast and her judgment astute. I know not one bad thing about her, and I'm glad she wants to help tutor students.Eleanor is an expert, especially at feedback on writing. Her patience and knowledge is one of the things that has drawn me to her regularly for editorial feedback, and I know she does wonderful work as an English teacher.
