In addition to writing fiction, I also write reviews, essays, op-ed pieces, and in-depth interviews. Media and culture are my main beats, and I focus on race, gender, sexual orientation, and other marginalized voices and communities.

I’m currently a freelancer and always looking for more outlets to write for–if you’re interested in working with me, drop me an email.

I’m available to speak at conferences and symposiums in the U.S. and abroad. Please send requests and inquiries via my contact form.
