about

My name is Jo. Welcome to my corner of
the world.

I’m a short story writer and novelist – and fiction editor for MASKS Magazine – with an MFA in Creative Writing, living and working in Chicago. You’ll find my works thoroughly tangled in plot and structure, with flawed characters searching for answers. I’m obsessed with circuses and playing cards, mythologies and monster stories.

If you’re stopping by, feel free to reach out and let me know. And if you ever want to find me in person, well, I’ll be the woman lingering in the corners of the local art museums and bookstores, on the search for another story.
