BIO:
Pushcart-nominated poet and writer, Marian Haddad, MFA, is a private manuscript and publishing consultant whose clients have won book and chapbook contests such as The Ashland Poetry Prize, The Texas Review Poetry Prize, The Whitebird Chapbook Contest/Wings Press (2 of the finalists in one year were Haddad's clients/private students: one won the prize, the other was the youngest in the history of that prize's finalists---the 17-year-old was invited to publish her chapook by the press in a non-related form to the prize). Other clients have been semi-finalists for various prizes including The Crab Orchard First Book Award. Many other clients have succeeded in placing their books and chapbooks with various reputable presses, including Pecan Grove Press and Kattywompus Press [tangential connections to Pudding House]. She connected Elroy Bode to Trinity University Press for his critically acclaimed prose collection, IN A SPECIAL LIGHT and Glover Davis to Pecan Grove Press for his critically acclaimed SEPARATE LIVES, though Bode and Davis are her mentors and she merely routed each to the respective presses. Her clients publish frequently in anthologies and journals.
*
Her chapbook, SATURN FALLING DOWN (2003) was created at the request of Texas Public Radio in correlation with their Hands-on Poetry Workshops, at which she taught. Her first full-length collection, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MEXICO AND A RIVER CALLED HOME (Pecan Grove Press 2004) approaches its fifth printing, and her latest collection of poetry, WILDFLOWER. STONE. (Pecan Grove Press 2011) is the first hardback in the 24 years of the press. Her work has been published in various journals and literary anthologies in the U.S., Belgium, The U.K., and has been invited for publication in The Middle East.
*
Haddad's books have been endorsed by Naomi Shihab Nye, Yusef Komunyakaa, Marilyn Chin, Abraham Verghese, Denise Chavez, Glover Davis and Former First Lady, Laura Bush (Founder of The Texas Book Festival).
*
Haddad's private rates the past 2-3 years, and currently, range from 75.00 - 125.00 a private hour, depending on various variables. Rush rates, evening rates, onilne rates increase client hourly rate by 50.00 an hour. Holiday rates increase by 100.00 an hour and are rare.
*
Her public speaking rates are much higher (but she works with the institution or non-profit or group at-hand to come to a reasonable agreement).
*
Those unable to afford private hourly consultations hopefully benefit from the workshop rates, though personal attention is obviously shared; as in most workshops, each participant gleans from the critiques of all participants' work shared at the conference table.
*
She has taught creative writing courses ( poetry, non-fiction and fiction) at Our Lady of the Lake San Antonio campus and Northwest Vista College. She has taught American Literature and International Literature at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. She has been hired to offer manuscript consults for Gemini Ink and often blogs for The San Antonio Express News. She was associate editor for POETRY INTERNATIONAL, Vol. III and often judges or screens national, regional, and local poetry and prose contests.
*
She earned her B.A. in Creative Writing from The University of Texas at El Paso and her M.F.A. in Creative Writing at San Diego State University. She studied The Prose Poem at Emerson College and earned graduate hours in philosophy as an NEH recipient at The University of Notre Dame. She holds a teaching certificate in secondary education and founded and directed The Writing Center at Bowie High School, five minutes from Mexico, in El Paso, Texas. Her work has been featured on The Hallmark Channel, in The Huffington Post and various media venues.
