Patron Hunt

Maddox K Pennington is a genderqueer writer facing a daunting transition process and a whole lot of spinning plates. They’re offering editorial consults on essays at any stage of drafting or revision, professional materials like job or grad school applications, lesson plans, structural woes, as well as copyediting, proofreading, and tips on going through a traditional publishing process. Interested in getting into comedy, publishing, or academia? They’re happy to field patron questions and offer tips and strategies they’ve learned from their 10 years as a professional writer and editor. On route to becoming a full-time professor of writing, they completed their MFA at Columbia University in creative nonfiction. Before coming out as nonbinary, they published a hybrid memoir about their coming-of-age as a reader of the Bronts, A Girl Walks Into a Book. They also spent six years working in publishing in both editorial and production departments, as well as a managing editor. They’ve worked as a writing consultant and a freelance editor for projects from personal essays to PhD dissertations, fantasy epics and debut novels. They specialize in braided narratives, unconventional structures, criticism, memoir, queer storytelling, TV writing, and humor. They’re passionate about supporting marginalized voices as they develop and evolve–let them help you shape and craft your projects.
