Hi, I’m alex!

I’m a writer, editor, artist, and educator. I love nothing more than telling stories whether that’s through my short fiction, longer form fiction, or media art. I teach creative writing


Also, here’s a list of things I am obsessed with in no particular order of importance:
 writing, readingalone time, chocolate, coffee, crochet (click here to see what kinds of stuff I make) , God, cats, true-crime podcasts, really any podcast that’s spooky and makes me think, did I say coffee?, faeries, Holly Black,fantasy, magical, real talk, but not casual cruelty like T. Swift says, poetry, beautiful, beautiful lines, gorgeous, gorgeous girlsa really good cup of coffee from Dunkin, men’s jawlinesandrogyny, tea, my mom, taylor swift (don’t you judge me!) -journals + bookbinding, my sister, crafts of any kind, my best friend Erin, my lovely friend Claudia, making jewelry that looks like tiny books (if you want some, check out my Etsy shop here!)cozy stuff, enemies-to-lovers storylines, did I say faeries?, being Black cuz it’s awesome, piercings, Ireland, Lord of the Rings (in particular, Galadriel) and so much more, but I’ll stop here for my sanity and for yours.
