hey everyone!

the big news is i've been invited to attend a 3-week writing residency at Chateau d'Orquevaux in Orquevaux, France! this is an internationally awarded artist & writer's residency, with only 20% of all applicants accepted each year. this is an incredible opportunity for me as an emerging writer, to further my work in a dedicated space with other creatives from around the world.

i've been offered a couple of grants as an emerging artist to cover partial cost of the residency, but i've started a GoFundMe to cover the remaining costs. all funds will go towards the residency, and anything over my goal will be used to cover travel costs and bill payments at home while i'm away.

please consider donating, sharing, or anything else you'd like to support my journey! thank you so much!

find some of my work on tumblr @nearlywrites, on substack or published in the Identity Theory magazine.

(and, if you've been here a while, you know my ao3)
