AboutI am a writer who has published essays about medieval relics, Britney Spears, Ovid's Metamorphoses, queer historical fiction, lip sync assassins, and Internet pornography.I'm currently querying THE LAST DAYS OF FISCHER COLLEGE (82,000 words). Set in 2005, it's a literary novel about a gender-questioning scholarship student trying to save his school—once a prestigious women's college, now a coeducational hotbed of art, sex, and scandal—from closing by winning back its wealthiest donor: an octogenarian heiress who believes men should never have set foot on campus.I think of it as Curtis Sittenfeld's PREP—but for the Y2K era.Selected PublicationsLiterary HubAvidlyCreative NonfictionElectric LiteratureTriQuarterlyCatapultContact
