Welcome to my substack! This will be a mix of personal essay blog posts, poems, and original short stories! I hope you enjoy.
A little about me:
My name is Hayley. I’m a substitute teacher but my real passion is writing. I hope to one day publish a book. My goal has always been to traditionally publish, but I’ve heard a lot about self-publishing from booktubers and friends who have self-published, so I’d be interested in exploring that world, too!
I currently live in the Central Valley of California. My hobbies include drawing, baking, and swimming. My favorite book is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. I also really love rom coms, urban fantasy, YA, dark academia, and comic books.
I have a BFA in television writing and BA in anthropology. I’ve been thinking about getting my masters and becoming a full time teacher or professor. All this will definitely be explored via personal essay so stay tuned!
