About
Aurora Bonner is a writer, artist, and teacher who has spent more than fifteen years teaching writing at the university level. She holds an MFA in creative writing and has worked with writers across genres including memoir, personal essay, fiction, and academic writing.

Services
Aurora works with writers across a range of genres, including memoir, personal essay, creative nonfiction, fiction, and academic writing. Sessions may focus on a particular draft, a developing project, or broader questions about craft, structure, and revision.
Together we might:
• discuss the structure or direction of a developing project
• identify themes and narrative threads within a draft
• explore strategies for revision
• address questions of voice, form, and organization
• work through moments where a project feels stalled or uncertain
These conversations are intended to offer both thoughtful critical feedback and sustained creative support as writers move their work forward.
Writing consultations can focus on specific pieces of writing or larger projects in development.
