My background is in comparative literature (Utrecht University and SUNY Binghamton), specialised in cultural memory and landscape. I’ve taught creative writing & storytelling (Parnassos; Writer’s Guide to the Galaxy; Rietveld Academie), literature (Maastricht University, CES; Utrecht University). In ‘21 and ‘22 I headed Utrecht University’s Creative Fiction & Non-Fiction summer school.

My work has been published in places such as The Sun Magazine, Barrelhouse Magazine, The Jewish Book Council, amongst others. My essay, On (Not) Reading Anne Frank was listed as a notable in Best American Essays 2018. My short stories have been nominated for Best of the Net, Best Small Fictions, and the Pushcart Prize.

My David Attenborough-themed advice column, “Dear David”, can be found over at Longleaf Review.

My first novel, THE SAFEKEEP, will be published in 2024 with Avid Reader (US) & Viking (UK). More info forthcoming!
