About Me

I recently completed a master's degree in Shakespeare at University College London and I also hold a BA in English and Creative Writing from The Ohio State University. I am very much at the beginning of my writing career, but I have written for eNotes.com, Weekend Notes, Suite101.com, Galavanting magazine and Nationwide Insurance and copy edited for The Ohio State University Press and PhD students at King's College London.

I edit the online Shakespeare magazine http://www.MadShakespeare.com and in the past I served as Managing Editor for Absynthe Muse, a website that educated young adult writers.

Things I like: Starbucks chai tea lattes, leaky fountain pens, hot water bottles, scones with clotted cream and jam, Belgian waffles, Monsterpiece Theatre, old copies of Little Women.

Why do you write?

I never know what I think about something until I write it down. Maybe I'm afraid that if I didn't write, I wouldn't actually think about anything.

Any favorite authors? Books?

Orlando by Virginia Woolf, and her essays too; One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Evelyn Waugh; Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra; Shakespeare; Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (still, after all these years); the essays of C. S. Lewis; Surprised by Joy by C. S. Lewis; Jane Austen; The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens.
