Creative Writing

The work I do when
no one is watching

I know what you’re thinking—is there anything this girl can’t do? And the answer is: change a tire. That said, I can write the hell out of a short story. See for yourself.

My creative writing projects

Literary Writing

You’ll find my work in places like Bandit Fiction, SAD Magazine, The /t3mz/ Review, and more. I’ve spent nearly a decade working with Canadian lit mags.

You should support them, too. 

Amateurs Project

In 2020, I started The Amateurs Project—an interview series with emerging Canadian writers. It began as a way to stay connected when everything felt out of reach. It turned into a record of how we kept making art anyway.

Need a creative writer?

I read. I host. I ask good questions. I speak at festivals, work on fiction boards, and assist with literary awards. If you need a guest author, a panelist, or a creative writer in any capacity, get in touch.
