My writing has appeared in The New York Times, Texas Highways, 7×7, Tribeza, the AV Club, AAA Texas Journey, McSweeney’s and elsewhere. I’m a recipient of a Wellstone Center residency and an alum of The Writers Hotel in NYC and the Tin House summer writers program. My stories have been finalists for the Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction and the StoryQuarterly prize.
In TV, my original half-hour comedy pilot KAT AND MOUSE was a Final Draft Big Break quarterfinalist and Stage 32 Comedy quarterfinalist. My original half-hour TV comedy pilot, VELVET RUT, was a second rounder in the 2021 Sundance Episodic Lab, a PAGE Awards quarterfinalist, and a CineStory quarterfinalist. A PUPPY FOR CHRISTMAS, my family-friendly feature script, advanced to the second round of the 2020 Austin Film Festival screenplay competition. See my Coverfly profile.
