Here are a few fun updates & (fingers crossed) some other fun updates will be coming soon:
I’m super super excited & proud that my story “Commission Piece” made the Other Distinguished Stories of 2025 of Best American Short Stories. Huge thanks to EPOCH literary journal & to editor J. Robert Lennon for giving it such an awesome home (picture below for proof! I can hardly believe it myself).
(I know I’m supposed to be super quiet & cool about these things & act like I’ve been here before, but you know what? No. I freaking love this story. I’m so glad others did too.)
I wrote a short craft piece on the generative capacity of lists for StoryStudio’s Substack
A while back I wrote & performed a poem—I don’t often write poems—and I’ve gone ahead and shared it here.
I’m super excited to read with Kathleen Rooney, Della Leavitt, Lisa Low, and Matthew Murrey at over at Roscoe Books at 7 pm on Nov. 22, 2026 as part of the Sunday Salon Reading Series.
