I write fiction and essays. My writing has appeared in Tin House, Electric Literature, American Short Fiction, Zyzzyva, The Baffler, and Guernica, among other publications. I received my MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and am currently at work on my novel Assisted Living.
I teach Creative Writing at The Reader in Berlin and work with writers one-on-one as an editor and mentor. For inquiries, please get in touch.
