Hi!

My name is Kristen and I am an author based in St. Louis, MO. I am currently querying my debut novel and like to write blogs too! I wanted a space to keep updates and posts together, so here we are!

I’ve spent the last two years working with a writing coach and early readers on my debut novel and, as I’ve moved into querying, I’ve also started working on a second book. I write upmarket fiction with a focus on emotional depth, immersive voice, and unconventional structure. In terms of reading, I’m drawn to stories that spark hard conversations, turn over harsh truths, and still make room for the tender beads of hope that float alongside tragedy. When I’m not spiraling over imposter syndrome, you can usually find me curled up on the couch, over-analyzing books with my dog.
