Professional Writer & Editor
In 2024, my intention is to write more thought-provoking stories and to get there, I'll be doing a hell of a lot of learning, reading, and writing. Read on to learn about all 10 of my writing goals this year. Last updated January 2025
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.
I'll be doing an AMA over on the sub r/PubTips this Friday, July 7, 2023, from 4 to 6pm PDT/7 to 9pm EDT! While my other AMA was all about fantasy writing, editing, and reading, this one is going to be all about short story writing, editing, selling, submitting, and all things short stories.
This month I'm working on revising (so many things lol), but one of those things is a short story! It's a secondary world fantasy where a young library page goes in search of her sister and the other girls who have gone missing from the city's library. As you can imagine, books and libraries play a huge part in the story and its themes.

After doing these types of writing prompts for months, I started selling being able to sell stories to publications, self-published authors, game developers, children’s publishers, and more.
A young boy asks a girl he barely knows to do a terrible act and she does.
I knew the way to his dad’s headstone as though it were my own father—wish that bastard was dead instead of just gone, but luck falls on the beautiful not the brave.
But the possibilities of a dead thing are endless in the minds of teens.
