I’m a writer and editor from Las Vegas.
My work has been featured in The Believer, McSweeney’s, The Yale Review, Reverse Shot, The Point, The Baffler, The Nation, and Dirt, among other publications. I’ve attended Short Fiction workshops at VQR and Tin House, as well as the Critics Academy for the New York Film Festival and the Press Inclusion Initiative at the Sundance Film Festival. I’m a 2026 MacDowell Fellow.
I’m a contributing writer at Defector (formerly at Gawker 2.0), managing editor at Still Alive Magazine, and a bookseller at The Writer’s Block.
My debut novel Observer is out on September 15, 2026. I’m represented by Danielle Bukowski at Sterling Lord Literistic.
