Hello and welcome!

I’m Gabrielle, a writer and artist preparing to publish my first novel. I write character-driven romance, fantasy, and speculative fiction with themes like found family, friendship, and self-discovery. My short fiction has been published or is forthcoming in 3Elements Literary Review, Grim & Gilded, and Potato Soup Journal. My short story “The Trouble with Memory” has been nominated for a Puschart Prize.

You can find my short stories–both published and unpublished–in the Short Stories section. I’ve distilled some of what I learned on my traditional publishing journey into articles that can be found in the Writing Resources section.
