Hi, I'm Shaelin! I'm a fiction writer and I recently completed my MFA in writing. I now teach writing as a sessional instructor. I've been writing since childhood and completed over a dozen manuscripts, and am currently pursuing traditional publishing. I've also published over fifteen short stories, many of which you can read online. On this channel, I chronicle my writing journey, as well as chat about writing craft and technique! Everything I just chat about is just my personal writing philosophy, but I hope sharing it might inspire you!
