about
|
Hannah is a queer Boston-based writer of contemporary and paranormal young adult and new adult fiction. She earned her MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University and her BFA in Writing, Literature, & Publishing from Emerson College and was a 2020 St. Botolph Club Foundation Emerging Writer nominee. Her work has been published in several local literary magazines, among them Wizards in Space and Groupie Mag. Most recently, the opening of her young adult novel-in-progress, Slow Notes Toward a Symphony of Longing, was selected as the first-place winner of Voyage YA's Summer 2021 First Chapters Contest. When she isn’t writing, she can be found drinking inadvisable amounts of iced coffee, performing rituals at Jamaica Pond, and practicing — but never perfecting! — the art of queer failure.
