Welcome To
Cup and Quill
At Cup & Quill, we meet writers and their projects where they are. We offer thoughtful, customized editorial collaboration rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. We don’t presume to know the questions each manuscript carries. Instead, we listen to what writers tell us about their projects, answer their questions about the writing and editing process, and support them in pursuit of their goals and dreams as writers. From there, we work together to determine the type of editorial support that best fits the manuscript, the writer’s timeline, and their vision. A creative collaboration call is the first step in our partnership. We invite you to schedule yours today.

Bless the Bittersweet
A rickety screen door teetered on rusty hinges as I pulled it open and stepped into the tiny ante-space that introduced the kitchen. I paused, allowing my eyes to adjust to the dim light as I inhaled the musty scent of things old. In the quiet, I waited for the space to speak. Who knew what had lain settled in memory’s crevices for more than half a century? Time warped as I stepped into the kitchen and looked around, surprised. It was a miniature version of the space that, moments earlier, I’d have sworn was a large farmhouse kitchen. Contradictory
Finding Home in an Interstitial Space
I knew the house was an interstitial space from which I was certain, I could find my way home.

Meditation and Imagination: Warmup Rituals for Courageous Writing
“How did you end up here?” It’s what people ask foreigners or people who’ve been through tough times. The grammar offends me. What is the referent for here, exactly? This country? This town? This relationship? This trouble? This chair? On the floor? On the rise? Indefinite antecedents should be a felony. And—end? I’ve yet to meet mine. I don’t mean to be ugly, but could we at least change the verb to one less terminal? Alight, maybe, or land, though the latter sits heavy. Either trumps the alternative. Earnest or incredulous, the question in question lays track on my life’s
