In addition to writing fiction, I work with a number of outlets to conduct interviews with authors and other creators. Check them out below!
FEATURE INTERVIEWS
These are the main events! Longer, more in-depth, research-intensive — you name it.
DEEP CUTS ARCHIVE
“Deep Cuts” is an irregular feature at Hellnotes in which I talk to some really excellent authors about one of their free-to-read stories, getting deep into themes, influences, techniques, and – of course – spoilers.

LIGHTSPEED AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEWS
