Kayla is a graduate of the Mountainview MFA with her sights set on publishing the novel conceptualized during her graduate studies. Now in the query trenches with her YA speculative novel about dreams, she is seeking representation, and dreaming bigger than ever. To learn more and catch a sneak peek of her first page, check out her conversation with agent Danielle Chiotti featured on the Manuscript Academy Podcast!

Kayla loves real books, her Classic 12 Smith Corona typewriter, her collection of antique teacups, and her muse/best friend/dog named Tux. Most days, she drinks way too much coffee while exploring literary worlds: writing poems, short stories, and anything else that fills her word-infested brain.
