I wanted to give space to both my writing and editing work, so I split the list into two. If you only have time to read some stories, I suggest checking out those authors and stories! I did not include links to my author newsletter, but if you’re interested in taking a deeper look behind the author curtain, I share journal excerpts and reflections over at Writing Skins. All and all, I’ve worked on over 30 stories!

On top of the 40 stories I published, I also started planning a new book, wrote 6 new short stories, and got into an MFA program! 2023 has been a wild year. If you vote in any of the awards (Nebula, Hugo, Astounding, Bram Stoker), I am eligible and would love it if you considered my work.
