NONCOMPLIANT: A MEMOIR. I'm currently seeking representation for my hybrid memoir about psychiatric survivorship and queer, neurodivergent aging. After an experience of midlife psychosis upends my whole world, I trace generational legacies of madness and resistance in my Ashkenazi Jewish family, alongside insights from twenty years of mental health advocacy.
