The Blood Year Daughter: Stories (short fiction collection)
Currently, the manuscript for my unpublished short fiction collection, The Blood Year Daughter: Stories, is being considered by approximately a dozen publishers via their open submission period. This collection was most recently a finalist for the 2023 Sante Fe Writer’s Project Literary Awards and the 2023 St. Lawrence Book Award, shortlisted for the 2023 Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize, and longlisted for the 2023 Steel Toe Books Prize. I am currently awaiting news from SFWP to find out if the manuscript will advance to an offer of publication.

I’d describe The Blood Year Daughter as literary-speculative feminist short fiction. Using a combination of poetic language, vivid dream-like imagery, and dark, fantastical scenarios, these stories explore the themes of female agency, sexuality, rage, monstrosity, and rewilding. I also examine themes of disability while female, and otherness. The writing is informed by my love of myth, fairy tale, folklore, and my own ethnic storytelling heritage as the daughter of immigrants. Part of this proposed collection, under a different name, was also a finalist for the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund Award for feminist writing.

I’m also currently working on a dark feminist poetry collection, of which I’ll reveal more as it nears completion.
