The Dreaming Hour

I am currently in the final stage of revision, with a publishing goal for 2021. Check back soon for updates! Crown & Pen Crown & Pen is an independent online zine that I co-founded in April 2020 to showcase writing and artwork inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. I currently serve as one of two lead editors.
