People are always asking me when I’m going to write a novel. I have, I just haven’t done anything with it. Huge thanks to Burial Magazine for being kind enough to publish a short excerpt!

If you’re headed to AWP make sure to stop by the @LEspritLit table at the book fair to grab a copy of their retrospective. I have seven watercolours and an essay in it. I’ll also be reading with them at The Last Bookstore on March 29th at 6pm. Come out and say hi!

Thrilled to have a gruesome little story about hysteria, medical abuse, and masochism in this. Coy always puts together the best historical horror. Mark your calendars for this one!

Just realized I only have one submission out right now. I have this weird anxiety around submitting. It’s not even that I’m scared of rejection, I just feel kind of stupid submitting my writing. Like, here, I wrote this thing which may or may not be (is definitely) weird. Please publish it.
