Got the call this weekend. My short story, Platform Driven, is a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest! It's an honor to find myself in such great company with my fellow finalist--including two of my beloved critique partners.

The one sentence description is: A Gen Z influencer joins the Old Girls Club.

Platform Driven packs a lot into a few short pages, it's comedic, cautionary, and creepy AF. (As the kids say--I think.)


The original version of this story was generated as part of the NYC Midnight Short Story contest in 2023. I've gotten a great selection of short stories from my NYC participation that I've used for the PNWA contest, I've got a first place win, a finalist, and this year--who knows?


Looking forward to attending the PNWA conference and award's ceremony in September. This year I'm teaching a class. More on that later!

The inaugural Tipsy Typers' Write-O-Rama was quite a success. Writing friends were made, solidified and celebrate. Many words were written/edited and snacks were devoured. The lovely folks at Luther's Table made us feel WRITE at home. Can't wait for the next one!


When will that be? Sometime in November. Details coming soon. Hope you can join us!
