From conservative Evangelical Christian to polyamorous bisexual heathen, my writing explores what it means to be alive and happy on my own terms. I write about abuse, religious trauma, divorce, mental health, polyamory, parenting, and more.
I’m Skylar—
—a writer in Columbus, Ohio, a Midwestern babe. I write creative nonfiction, poetry, and the occasional flash fiction. When I’m not writing, I’m ordering a vanilla latte or making up bedtime stories with my son or asking my daughter if my outfit works or reminding the cat that she just ate an hour ago or having a date night with one of my partners or texting a friend for the gossip or doom-scrolling when I should be sleeping or reading an intense book and then reading a light book to help with the intensity or rewatching a comfort show and hiding under a fluffy blanket.
I write because joy and grief are inextricably mixed in life, and writing helps me make sense of it.
I hope my work resonates with you.
