When I’m not painting or messing around with an apple pencil, I write stuff. Usually science fiction and fantasy, usually queer.* I do that because I’m several flavors of queer myself, and therefore can’t help it. We’ve come a long way since I was a baby trans, but in other ways we’re going ass-backwards, so one of my primary goals is to put more transmasc stories out there. Warm ones. Kind ones. Ones that don’t end in tragedy OR cis betrayal OR fading into invisibility after transition OR soft-boi cinnamonrollification.

Oh, and space. Definitely stories about space.

Maybe one day I’ll publish one.

Creds that will not matter unless I finish a dang book already: got a Bachelor’s in Creative Writing, and won the University of Rochester’s Meredith Goodman Bernstein Prize for best piece of undergrad writing in 2021. Also published one (1) poem in Gandy Dancer.

*Well, always queer, one way or another
