I'm a fiction writer and currently an MFA candidate in writing. I'm also a teaching fellow and have designed a university level writing course which I am currently prepping to teach next year. I've been writing since childhood and completed over a dozen manuscripts, and am currently pursuing traditional publishing. I've also published over fifteen short stories, many of which you can read online. On this channel, I chronicle my writing journey, as well as chat about writing craft and technique! Everything I just chat about is just my personal writing philosophy, but I hope sharing it might inspire you!
