thank you for reading all of this, for sharing, and for your continued support. much love to you all! <3
i greatly appreciate anyone who can help contribute to my fundraiser. and if you can't donate, please share and spread the word. i hate asking for help, but I also understand that sometimes it's necessary. since im in my MFA, i make a small stipend, so any financial help would be lifechanging.
being able to attend Tin House this summer would be especially life-changing because my collection of short stories is nearly completed. To have the opportunity to network, build community, and pitch my collection to agents could lead to the start of my career as an author.
