Hi there! I'm Izidora, an award-winning writer and literary translator, who's taught and coached writers in multiple settings—guest lectures and workshops at UChicago, Oberlin, Columbia College, and Lake Forest College. I've also spoken on panels at all the important literary festivals & I've published widely.

So what does it mean for you? As a working writer, I'm continuously publishing new work, from essays to entire books, I'm always learning. I use that very real-world experience to tutor high school and college-level students in short- and long-form creative nonfiction through brief craft lessons, close reading of mentor texts, structured exercises, and sustained drafting time. And, I follow that with actionable line-level and structural feedback, so that in just a few short sessions we go from a blank page to a polished final piece.
