creative writing

Hello, there!

I’ve been writing stories for as long as I remember, although it was only during the Covid-19 pandemic that I started to seriously edit and send out my work to different paying markets.

Most of them fall under the genre of “speculative” fiction- fantasy, sci-fi, magic realism, and a dash of magic- featuring sad and angry girls, against an unjust world, navigating questions of identity, self-hood, and agency.

I also adore writing poetry. From love sonnets to little rhyming notes on birthdays for my friends, I’ve been regularly writing poetry, since middle school, and throughout my university life, I’ve been published extensively in literary magazines, small presses, anthologies, and indie zines.

Here is a link to my poetry archive. You can read some of my published stories here

I also enjoy dabbling in fanfiction and experimenting with scripts, game writing, branching, and non-linear narratives, as well as with longer forms such as the novella.
