About Me

I'm Syrah — also go by "Sy"—a solitude advocate, abuse leaver, and literary nonfiction writer waking at 4:00am to write in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I earned an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars where I drafted my first manuscript, a memoir: The Inner Elsewhere. For more, please see the About page and social media below. For my alter ego, please see FRUITLAUREATE.COM / @fruitlaureate

It’s pub day for the flash piece that kickstarted my first manuscript but is no longer in that manuscript (because revise, revise). That’s the writing life for you: it gives & takes away & then gives again elsewhere.

P. S. This is your sign to submit to @charlottelit
