Hi! I'm Clara. I'm currently working on my first novel after years of writing short stories and poetry. My goal is to write queer-led stories that show queer people living and loving without persecution. I'm going into my second year of college and hope to finish my draft by the end of the summer and be ready to query by Christmas break! I would love to meet anyone who wants to be critique partners and/or other LGBT authors who have gone through or are going through the publishing process and have any insights. I'm excited to meet ya'll!
