I set a goal to have twice as many releases in 2026 as I did in 2025.
At the time, it felt reasonable — two chapbooks or books.

I hit that goal before 2026 began.

I have two chapbooks coming out this year through two different small/independent presses.

This genuinely feels like a dream come true. ❤️

Marketing Manager & Literary Manager ✨💖 | Author of Myths in the Feed (sold out 6x) | Crying Heart Press Best-Selling Author | 2x Pushcart Nominee | I make strategy feel like storytelling — and vice versa.

On Tuesday, my new book 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐿𝑖𝑒𝑠 is released.

It’s a collection about generational weight — what we absorb, what we’re expected to hold, and the decision to stop carrying what was never ours to begin with.

This project sits at the intersection of storytelling and responsibility: how honesty becomes a form of change in families, in work, and in the way we show up for the people around us.

#Storytelling #CreativeWork #BreakingCycles #PoetryCommunity

This is a period of transition and growth for me both personally and professionally. It is equal parts exciting and terrifying.

How do you stay grounded and avoid feeling overwhelmed when everything around you is changing? I’d love to hear your strategies.

There was always an expectation of secrecy when I was a child. I was made responsible for keeping the family skeletons in the closet. I was forced to hide guilt, shame, pain, trauma—my own thoughts and feelings—and the truth.

In this collection of poetry, I lay that truth bare in short, hybrid poems—part poetry, part prose—exploring what it means to reclaim a voice that was once silenced.

Today is release day for my latest collection, 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐿𝑖𝑒𝑠. Link in the comments. 💖 

#WritingCommunity #Poetry #AuthorsOfLinkedIn #CreativeWork #Storytelling #BookLaunch #PublishingLife

Lately I’ve been thinking about how difficult it is to balance professional responsibilities with being a poet, writer, and artist.

Some days, it feels like being pulled in different directions—my priorities and passions competing for the same limited hours.

For those of you who live in both worlds, how do you find the balance and keep showing up for both?
