2024 has been a fantastic year!

So many wonderful things happened this year. Being the 2024 winner of the Toronto Star Short Story Contest was such a highlight (I was SO surprised…nervous…grateful!). It opened up a wonderful opportunity for me to attend The Humber School of Writers in the Graduate Creative Writing program where I’ve been incredibly luck to be mentored by Giller Prize-finalist Marina Endicott. An amazing program, and an amazing opportunity!

I was also thrilled to announce representation by literary agent Joanna Rasheed at Ultra Literary! We are currently on submission to publishing houses with one manuscript, and plan to go on submission in January 2025 with another.

2024 was also the year of many publications, and the introduction of our puppy Maizie to our household. She’s been an absolute delight, and we can’t imagine our lives without her.

I hope 2025 will continue to have wonderful publishing news for me and for all my wonderful writer friends! All the best to everyone!
