Overview
My fiction, essays, and interviews have been featured at Literary Hub and elsewhere. I am an alumni of the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference and have served as an editorial consultant at the literary journal CRAFT Literary and The Masters Review. My debut novel will be published in 2023 by Malarkey Books:
"This ominous, gripping novel is a beautifully observed and cleverly structured thriller, a thoughtful and provocative journey into the dark, bloody heart of American lunacy."
—DAN CHAON, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Sleepwalk
I know how to craft narratives that people want to read, and I'm excited to help you and your manuscript reach that next level.
