Get to know Renee...
Birthdate? March 2
When did you start writing?
I’ve been creating stories in my mind since before I learned to write, and as soon as I learned, I started transcribing them onto paper (however illegible they may have been).
When and what and where did you first get published?
As early as elementary school, I was published in local papers for either winning or placing in the top three for local poetry contests. I did this throughout high school and my first few years of University. I only started submitting to literary magazines at the end of 2019. My first short story was published in Love Letters to Poe in 2020.
Why do you write?
I’ve always had the intrinsic desire to do it. It’s cathartic, liberating, and a way for me to bond with more people than I can in real life.
Why do you write Fantasy?
It’s an interesting and challenging way to reveal what I’ve learned about the human condition and society by juxtaposing reality against the fantastical. It allows me and my readers the opportunity to explore the taboo or uncomfortable truths within a safe contextual framework.
Who is your favorite author? Your favorite story?
It really depends on my mood. I’m a lover of literature and stories across genres. I love Philippa Gregory, Oscar Wilde, Stephen King, Jane Austen, Hans Christian Andersen, C. S. Lewis, and Frances Hodgson Burnett.
What are you trying to say with your fiction?
It depends on the story, but there is always a theme weaved within words.
If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?
Whenever she got bored with the world, she created a new one.
Do you blog?
No, I never got into it. I have a hard enough time trying to secure time to write stories and poetry.
