## About

I am currently working on final edits of my first novel, **Fruitful Bodies** an excerpt of which was published in [Hamilton Arts and Letters RAVE](https://halmagazine.wordpress.com/hal/).

I live in Hamilton with my partner and two children. As a resident curator at [HitRECord](https://www.hitrecord.org/users/SarahScott), an online production company, I have had the pleasure of working collaboratively with artists and writers from all around the world.

My work has been published in print and online and you can check out some examples below.
