Hi, I’m a writer. Here are some things I’ve written:

IGpromoMM — *Miss Misery (*2020), co-created with Jade Blair, is a 7-episode web series about an anxious artsy couple in Toronto experimenting with polyamory.
It won **Best Script** at the 2020 British Web Awards and CBC said “**Miss Misery has some of the funniest and most perceptive dialogue in all of Canadian media**.”
**More** **on that here**.
**Full season on YouTube is here**.

TheJokes DOUBLE cover.png — *The Jokes* is a collection of one-page short stories published by Book*Hug in 2016. The publisher’s page for the book is **here**.
The French version, **C’est une farce**, translated by Alexandre Soublière and published by Tête première, was released November 2019.

BC postcard hazlitt image.jpg — “**The Legion Lonely**,” an essay about lonely men, was the most popular Hazlitt essay of 2017 and the 5th-most popular piece of that decade.
It was included on a list of “**A writers' guide to the greatest magazine articles ever**” by Alison Herman at The Ringer.
More of my essays **here**.

**“The Life You Want”** seems to be my most liked/discussed short story.
More of my fiction is **here**.

Sol LeWitt’s “Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes” (1974) — “**172 notes to myself on art written while sitting on my bedroom floor facing my open closet in Toronto**” is a sort of time capsule of my art thinking (and life) around 2014-2015.

One time I wrote a thing for McSweeney’s that became part of a sketch on Saturday Night Live. The thing is **here**. The SNL sketch is **here**.
More of my shorter pieces, funny and not funny, are **here**.

I have written/made some things that don’t fall into any normal category.
**Two Pinecones** (excerpted on the left) is a story I made for the Koffler Centre as screenshots of text messages.
I’ve also appeared on podcasts (**The Imposter** and **Metacosm**) and the now-defunct radio show Definitely Not The Opera, and collaborated with illustrator Robin Rains to make comics out of my Facebook statuses.
