Author bio

Heyo, I'm Sammy! I write poetry to prose to short stories! I'm queer and genderfluid, so I use all pronouns, though mostly they/them. If you wanna read more of my stuff, I post most of what I write to tumblr under the username @pitter-pattering-ink. I also have a kofi if you would like to donate or you'd like for me to write something for you! It's https://ko-fi.com/sammywrites24. I wish you the best! If you want me to read something of yours, just ask :).
