A confluence of writers at Smoke Farm in Arlington, WA.
Till was a writers’ residency and writing event series that produced an annual chapbook. Founded in 2013 through a collaboration between Arne Pihl and Chelsea Werner-Jatzke, Till offered scalable and affordable programs to writers of all genres at all stages of their career.
Till was created to increase access to the literary world through writing practices, feedback forums, workspaces, literary readings, and publication opportunities. Over six years, we supported hundreds of underserved literary artists.
Organized around an annual alternative writing residency at Smoke Farm in Arlington, WA, Till cultivated a space for diverse voices and an opening where writers could create, inspire, and grow their craft.
Residencies included writing workshops and produced the publication of a hand-bound chapbook. Covers were letterpress printed as part of a hands-on workshop and chapbooks were released in Seattle in the fall with free public readings.
Till Tonight, a monthly writing event, took place in Seattle as a generative space for all writers. Till Tonight was hosted in partnership with cultural organizations around Seattle including Common Area Maintenance, Canoe Social Club, Mount Analogue, and King Street Station.

CV
A writer and curator exploring the liminal spaces of the literary arts. I am the author of two chapbooks and have fiction, reviews, and poetry published widely. My interest in how words can be experienced has led to solo work and collaborations to create installations, music performances, broadsides, karaoke, and video poetry. I founded and directed Till, a literary organization that offered an annual writing residency, and am currently co-director of Cadence Video Poetry Festival at Northwest Film Forum.
I’m also a very professional professional
