I’m a writer primarily focused on contemporary literary fiction, although I dabble in other genres as the mood strikes. I recently graduated with a double bachelor’s degree in English and Communication, and I’ve been continuing my studies through Harvard Extension School’s Creative Writing and Literature program, while working full-time as a communications specialist.
My work has been published in several local magazines and anthologies, and I have written four novel manuscripts in the last four years (none published, yet). I have also written screenplays for a couple of short films, including One-Man Band, which has been screened in both local and international film festivals.
In this archive, you’ll find original creative fiction, writing prompts, and blog posts from my Writing Rules Project series.
