Reviews
The reviews below come from my time at Broken Pencil Magazine or while at the White Wall Review. I had the pleasure to work with the editors of Broken Pencil to craft zine and book reviews that were published in print. The White Wall Review pieces lead to the online post while the others have the full review as it is in Broken Pencil Issue #88.

"It takes a lot of effort and grace to express subtle themes amidst the bustling worlds and elaborate backdrops typical of science fiction. Highly skilled prose that also demonstrates its intended themes is rare two out of two."
