A 31-year-old Frenchman who makes a living teaching English in Nantes. He writes all sorts of things, from realist fiction to weirder stuff, and even though he hasn’t written one in a while, he has a few poems out there he’s quite happy with. He’s a brand new dad, and so he’ll have to work out a new schedule if he wants to keep his writing thingy going. His writing has appeared in Tin House, Paper Darts, Liminal Stories, and Unsung Stories. His first short story collection, Eternal Dreamers of Greener Grass, will be out in early 2018.
