Standard Format
To Find A Masterpiece- One of the longest non-Twine works I have written, conglomerated from what were previously four separate yet related works. The first and fourth chapters are the strongest of the work in my eyes, as the second and third were written more out of obligation than actual interest at the time. Sits at just over 4,100 words total.
The Beast's Bargain- An earlier work I wrote as a different take on a classic fantasy trope. This story was primarily written to appeal to both younger and older audiences, as I feel its message is one that people can benefit from regardless of age. 1,831 words in total. Third-person medium fantasy.
The Guide to Valp Culture- There is a more readily legible version of this document here. This booklet is a collection of lore about the Valps, a highly militaristic faction of birdlike humanoids I invented for the tabletop system a friend and I have been working on as a mutual passion project. This does not contain every bit of lore for the faction, however, as it is written from the perspective of a character writing an actual field guide about Valp culture while secretly being one of them. The original document uses a font to closely resemble handwriting for extra immersion, while the more legible version swaps the font to a more easily readable one. Spans 3,845 words over 24 pages, though the page count is slightly inflated by the font size. Written for a medium-high fantasy setting.
Twine Projects
The Woodworks- My first attempt at a choose-your-own-adventure story, written via the program Twine. Contains 117 passages, 18 of which are different endings. A second-person horror story inspired loosely by horror games constructed with RPG Maker.
Grief- This story was written not too long after The Woodworks as a college assignment, written using the same program. Also contains 117 passages, with 8 serving as endings. Third-person horror, experiments with implementing a semi-visible progress tracker into the story.
Newswriting Experience
These pieces are all ones I wrote during my internship with ENSPIRE Magazine. The magazine focuses on highlighting positive and uplifting events in the community. While the titles could never quite be as descriptive as I liked, I did what I could.
