INTRO
Hi, Im Shaelin! Im a fiction writer and currently an MFA candidate in writing. Im also a teaching fellow and have designed a university level writing course which I am currently prepping to teach next year. Ive been writing since childhood and completed over a dozen manuscripts, and am currently pursuing traditional publishing. Ive 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!

→How long have you been writing? - Since I was 8
→Where do you live? - I keep that private for safety reasons, but I grew up in Vancouver.
→Where did you go to university and what did you study? - I keep my university information private, but I majored in writing with a concentration in fiction.
→What are your pronouns? - They/them or she/her
→Where can I read your books? - None of my books are published yet, but you can read my published short fiction in my linktree (linked above!)
→So when will your book be published? - I don’t know! I’m in the revision process right now, but I can’t predict exactly when I’ll have a book published. But I’m working on it!
→Do you plan to traditionally publish or self publish? - Traditionally publish
→Will you read my book/story/chapter/mentor me? - Unfortunately I cannot accommodate these requests because editing/critiquing is a labour intensive task that I can’t afford to do for free alongside my job, my own writing, and running this platform. If you would like to hire me for paid editing work, contact me privately on twitter or instagram.
