You know when you show up at a restaurant and your table isn’t ready? That’s kind of what’s happening here. This site is about to undergo some really exciting changes, so please bear with me. Drop me an email if you’d like to be notified when we’re ready for you!
In the meantime, here are a few of my all-time favorite stories -- the ones that leave me excited to write more.
Being a writer is a great thing for a chronically nosy (but inherently shy) person. I'd much rather listen to other people than talk about myself.
I have an M.A. in English from the University of New Mexico and M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Emerson College. Along with freelance writing, I've been a content writer for digital health startups, contributing editor at the long-gone but still-missed Teen People, an advice columnist for Teen (best gig ever), and helped with casting MTV’s award-winning documentary series,"True Life."
For fun, I've also served as a fiction reader for Puerto del Sol, an editorial assistant for Ploughshares, and most recently, read fiction and non-fiction submissions for Tin House.
Home is Portland, Ore., where I live with my family, which includes a small dog with a big personality, two cats, and a huggable pony.
And last, but definitely not least, my first novel, LIBBY LOST AND FOUND, will be out 10.15.24.
