I'm a semifinalist in the Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Competition

One of my stories is a semifinalist! Top 36 out of 800 submissions. Thank you Screencraft for the honor. This feels especially sweet since the story takes place in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta (hometown shoutout!). This story, as well as the two others that made it to the quarterfinals, are in my book Reclaiming Eros: A Heroine’s Journey.

Three of my short stories are quarterfinalists for the 2023 Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Competition!

After 2+ years of pandemic stagnancy (well I was getting a Masters degree, but I was definitely missing the JUICE from daily life), I declared 2023 my year of CREATIVITY. I've been writing more (just finished my first full-length stage play - more on that soon) and am about to go on a little tour to promote my short film, The Dance After the Last Dance.

I've also been submitting my work to various labs, retreats, and competitions. I saw the Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Competition and thought, "Why not! I always see my work cinematically when I'm writing it." So I submitted four stories and three have gone on to the next round (out of 800 submissions)! No matter how the semifinals/finals go, I am excited to finally have a little more creative fuel to keep me going throughout 2023 :)
