I write memoir and
creative non-fiction.
I publish personal essays on a range of topics. For instance, I have written about falling in love with horror and spending holidays alone for Broad Street Review.
​
My short story "The Wingman" appears in the anthology Best Short Stories of Philadelphia 2021 (Toho Press), edited by Matthew Perez and guest editor Quinn Eli. "The Wingman" is a memoir about searching for self, home, love, and truth on South Street.
​
I wrote about Kate Bush, Toni Basil, and more in the Philly Zine Fest 2020 Anthology. Since the 1990s, I have published a zine called Medusa very intermittently; every hand-stapled issue is a valuable collector's item.
​
In fall 2018 and spring 2019, I judged the Judith Stark Creative Writing Contest at Community College of Philadelphia, which offers cash prizes for the best student poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and scripts.
