Overview
In addition to my freelance work, I am a former Senior Editor for the online literary magazine Literary Mama and the editor of The Maternal Is Political: Women Writers at the Intersection of Motherhood and Social Change. I have also contributed to other anthologies, such as It's a Girl, edited by Andrea J. Buchanan, and Jesus Girls: True Tales of Growing Up Female and Evangelical, edited by Hannah Faith Notess.
In my free time, I can often be found reading Russian literature or literary fiction. Favorite authors include Ann Patchett, Elena Ferrante, George Saunders, Jane Gardam, David James Duncan, Maria Semple, Anthony Marra, Jess Walter, Barbara Kingsolver, and Anton Chekhov, but that's just scratching the surface.
I am a wife and mother, an introvert and friend, and a student of literature and life. My spirituality and politics fall left of center and whenever I stumble across someone quoting Rumi or Mary Oliver, I feel like I've found a friend.
