Genres I've taught: short creative prose (fiction, fictocriticism/creative nonfiction, essay, reviews, ecocriticism), novel, prose poetry. I've also taught developing and maintaining creativity and use of the journal, editing, performance and publication. I've taught both developing and emerging writers varying in gender, ethnicity, sexuality, culture and class.

In the academy, I have examined honours and masters and PhD theses in creative writing (Southern Cross University; RMIT; University of Adelaide ; University of Technology, Sydney; University of Western Sydney; University of Canberra).
