I started writing in July 2020 when I was eight years old. The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury sparked something in me, and since then I have been writing every day. I’ve completed two novels, two feature screenplays, and hundreds of short stories and poems. Some of my other favorite writers are Haruki Murakami, Louise Glück, Daphne du Maurier, Sara Teasdale, Leonora Carrington, W. Somerset Maugham, and Kelly Link.
