A two-time Warhol Foundation Arts Writer Grant Finalist, in 2022 and 2025; a 2024 MOMUS Arts Journalism resident; a 2023 ArtTable Fellow, and a writer-in-residence at IKEA Residency; my fiction was longlisted in the 2021 First Pages Prize and I was a finalist for the 2022 Ellen Meloy Desert Writers Prize.
I am represented by Sarah Levitt at Aevitas Creative.
In addition to fiction, nonfiction, and reporting, I work in PR as a brand copywriter and strategist in the art, design, fashion, and architecture industries.
I also coach artists and anyone applying to grants, colleges and institutions, and/or writing project proposals. SERVICES HERE.
