Around two years ago, I had only just started freelancing, but I tried my hardest to pitch coverage of a @ChappellRoan show. Tickets were $17 after fees; the venue fit 500 people. [🧵, 1/12]

I’m honored to share that my novel manuscript, Illuminate Your Subjects, was selected as the recipient of the Emi Kuriyama Award!. I’m still seeking representation for this project, so if an uncanny coming-of-age roadtrip novel sounds interesting to you, let’s link? ✨

Absolute best comment I've gotten on my novel manuscript so far has to be "It makes sense in the way that pop lyrics DON'T make sense, but they do".
