Hi hey hello!

I’m Darien, author (Penguin Random House), poet (Poetry Society of America), and essayist (Bloomsbury). I love helping others tell their stories through the art of short prose.

If you are:

• a writer with stories but unsure of where to start

• curious about micro prose (300 words or less) and its possibilities

• ready to see your work get published

then you’ll love my Substack, Writer-ish. Come discover what's possible when you start small. It’s great to meet you!
