I’m from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I studied cognitive science at the University of Toronto for 2.5 years, then taught English in Wuhan, China, canvassed in Manchester, UK, and extracted landmines in Cambodia. Then I returned to Canada and finished my B.A., helped launch and run Double Double Land, then did a Creative Writing M.F.A. at the University of Alabama. In 2016 I published a book of short stories, The Jokes. I have been awarded by the Edward F. Albee Foundation, the Truman Capote Scholarship Fund, the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, and I was shortlisted for the Metatron Prize for Rising Authors. From 2011-2014 as a graduate student I taught creative writing at the University of Alabama, and I taught writing as a professor from 2015-2018 at George Brown College. In 2019, with Jade Blair, I released a web series about people experimenting with open relationships, called Miss Misery.

Here is my Twitter, my personal Facebook, my rarely-updated professional Facebook, and my Instagram.

In 2020 I became a web developer, but now I’m back to doing writing stuff for work.

I live in New York.
