Long time no see, I’m bringing this newsletter back. Some updates, I’m still an editorial assistant at Narratively and a staff writer at The Tempest. I’m newly a paid editorial fellow at The Mighty (first non-school place to take me in back in the fall of 2018). I had something happen unexpectedly in mid-November which caused me to pause some writing stuff, but I’m getting back into it. Here’s my work from most recent to oldest. I’m also graduating somewhat soon eep. I’m only including paid work in this newsletter :)

Happy December!

I’m going to do a thing where I’m not going to try and make a reason for why I haven’t been able to pitch/write as much (I’m hard on myself), but what I’m going to say is this month has given me *plenty* of writing ideas.
