Olive Sullivan
Bookbinder, Poet, Playwright, Rambler and Kansas Touring Artist
Something is calling you to creativity—let me help you answer that call. I am available to offer workshops in generative writing, give a talk on the life of a working writer, collaborate with other artists, or teach bookbinding basics (or hire me to create beautiful books for you). Or visit us at our shop and check out local artists in our gallery!

Ways we can work together
Buy My Books
I have two books: The first is about falling in love; the second is about falling apart. Both are poetry. My work also appears in several anthologies, including this new release.
Workshops & Readings
I offer in-person readings and workshops on everything from letter writing to creating dragon eyes and bookbinding. I’m available to travel; let’s talk about it.
Grants are available through the Kansas Touring Artists program.
Custom Bookbinding
I specialize in custom-bound blank journals, and also offer book repair and rebinding. My favorite journals feature fantasy themes.
Produce My Play
The Pocket Guide to Desert Survival is available for licensing for production. It’s an hour-long play, with ballet, about journeying through the wilderness to find the meaning of survival after a cancer diagnosis. The sidekick is an IV pole named Lulu, portrayed by a dancer.
Upcoming Events
I announce upcoming events on my Facebook page. Follow me here, so you can follow me everywhere else.
Publish My Books
If you would like to learn more about my works in progress, please contact me. The themes I work with most often are grief and the archeology of family, nature and environment, the search to define your identity—coming of age, during illness, at the end of life.
