Meet the Storyteller 

There's really no one way to be.

 

Becoming a writer was less of a step-by-step process and more of an on-again-off-again situationship. And while I do write, therefore I am a writer (I guess), it's usually said cringing. Maybe even through gritted teeth.

 

Nobody explains to you when you can start calling yourself a writer. The doe-eyed dreamers might say I've always been one. Cynics will say you can't be a writer until you're published, and successful, which usually means you're getting paid. But I've found that, like most things, there's an in-between.

​

I spend a lot of time focusing on my MFA, which I'm pursuing at The New School. When I'm not working or getting schooled, I'm a reader for LIT Magazine, the brainchild of the Masters in Fine Arts of Creative Writing at The New School. Their words, not mine.

​

I'm also a staff writer and editor for PLAYBUTCH, an online literary and arts zine curated by lesbians, for lesbians. I contribute 1 to 3 pieces regularly, so check us out!

​

And, somehow, I even managed to create a literary and arts zine with my best friend and love of my life, Jay. We're co-editors-in-chief of Sink or Miss, a brand new zine for lesbians. We're currently working on our first issue, which should be published by the end of the month!

​

The writing bug never really  leaves me anymore. Thankfully. I'll knock on wood and hope I don't jinx it, though.
