About Me

Elaborate, passionate, contradictory

Balancing both fiction and nonfiction, I’ve been writing professionally since 2015. I live with my wife and three cats in Edmonton, where I watch drama videos and knit dopamine blankets. My heart belongs to speculative fiction, gory details, and queering as a verb.

I am the founder and head writer of Making Queer History, and my work has been featured in And/Both, Bustle, Hungry Zine, and Daily Xtra. It has also been mentioned in Vice, Slate, and Harper's Bazaar. Through my writing, I have been paid to speak at universities and conferences throughout Canada.

I was raised on Tamora Pierce and find myself endlessly inspired by authors such as Kat Howard, Elena Dykewomon, Akwaeke Emezi, Vivek Shraya, and Victor Hugo. All of my work is looked over and loved by my wife.
