Hello everyone! It’s Liyah of JSM here! 

I am a UW interdisciplinary artist graduate who specializes in creative writing and developmental editing. I was an editor on UW Bothell’s 2024 editorial board for its literary and arts journal, Clamor, and I want to continue the fun I had professionally. 

I enjoy writing and helping other writers hone their craft with Young Adult genre fiction novels, short stories, and webtoon/manga/comic scripts. I gravitate to stories of fantasy, romance, music, contemporary, and more. I also offer essay-writing help for students (film, literature, humanities). 

Whether you’re here to collaborate or connect, I invite you to explore what I have to offer!

Thanks for stopping by!
