About the Author

Hi! I’m Jon—a part-time writer and full-time reader based in Chicago.

I mostly write about people who mean well but make a mess of things anyway. They’re trying to be good, or at least decent, and usually fail in interesting ways. If you’re a like-minded reader who enjoys watching characters trip over themselves, you’ll probably feel right at home.

My influences include Kobo Abe, Daniil Kharms, Clarice Lispector, Yukio Mishima, Toni Morrison, Boris Vian.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in representing me or just want to chat about books!
