What I do
Writing
I have a lot of experience writing all kinds of things, from narrative fiction to analytical papers, poetry, and everything in between. I’m currently working on my first two novels; there’s a lot of rejiggering happening right now and every time I go back over it the writing gets better.
Podcasting
My writing (see above) has recently extended to audio dramas. Check out the first two seasons of Guess Who Didn’t Die Today!
Art
My visual art is sporadic at best; I usually work with words. Still, I’ve made some sticker-worthy pieces and I drew a really funny picture of my cat once.
Photography
I’m just hobbyist, nothing fancy, but I think I do pretty well. It’s all about the framing and composition.
Crafting
I like working with my hands, making and selling jewelry, knitting sometimes, I make countless paper cranes that find their homes all over the cafe where I work, things like that.
Editing, Web Design, Admin Stuff, and Everything Else
I’ve worked as a freelance editor of all things text-based, designed a few websites, done admin work, data entry, and generally done my best to keep things looking professional and organised. Everyone needs a second pair of eyes, after all, even certified editors! Even me! I’m happy be your second pair of eyes or whatever else you might need.
But Who Is Ria?
Thank you so much for asking!
I’m a late-20’s, queer, creative person who reads way too much, writes my novels during church services (sorry Rick; would you believe it helps me focus?), draws sometimes, takes artsy photos sometimes, works as a barista sometimes, and generally exists in the world.
As for the rest, I wrote a whole bio and then thought “hmm, maybe let’s make that an opt-in situation.”
