Hello!

I’m Kaitlyn, a writer and editor. My short fiction has appeared in Indiana Review, Copper Nickel, Wigleaf, and more. My story “Five Easy Payments of Nothing Ever Happens” won the 2025 Forge Flash Fiction Competition. The former Editor-in-Chief of Split Lip Magazine, I received an MFA in Creative Writing from American University, where I served as the Editor-in-Chief of FOLIO. Thanks for stopping by!
