Welcome!
I am a professor and writer living in Philadelphia.
I am a scholar of American literature and the author of a book.
I write about film, culture, and performing arts, and I sing and play the ukulele.
Heather McBride Photography
I offer writing and editing services, mentoring for aspiring writers and educators, presentations and speaking engagements, and more. Each time you hire me, I will donate 30 minutes of mentoring to a grad student, contingent or adjunct faculty member, or part-time instructor.
