hello
My short fiction has been featured in Slice Magazine, Joyland Magazine, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Perigee Publication for the Arts, and Sundog Lit. I was honored to workshop fiction in Tin House’s 2024 Winter Workshop and One Story’s 2023 Summer Conference.
I founded and edited Storychord.com -- a multimedia journal featuring short fiction alongside visual art + a one-song soundtrack, each by a different emerging artist, for a collaborative storytelling experience. From 2010-2017, we published 150 issues and hosted multiple SXSW and CMJ live music events.
For fun, I dabble across creative arts like jewelry making, ceramic pottery, block printing, and photography.
Here's some of my very favorite fiction and, more broadly, 50+ of my favorite books.
Friend me on Goodreads, Pinterest, and Bluesky.
