I’m a writer. My essay collection, The Collected Schizophrenias, was a New York Times bestseller. My debut novel, The Border of Paradise, has received accolades and kind words from places such as LitHub, NPR Books, and the Chicago Review of Books; I was selected by Granta for their once-a-decade Best Young American Novelists list of 21 authors under 40, and I'm a Contributing Editor at Poets & Writers Magazine.

I'm also the founder of The Unexpected Shape™  Writing Academy, which is for ambitious writers living with limitations.
