Janet writes fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. She has recently completed a book of narrative nonfiction about relationship addiction, chronic pain, and working in tech in the Bay Area. It's also about epigenetic trauma and the ways climate grief lives in our bodies. She is currently looking for representation for it.
Janet works as Assistant Interviews Editor for The Rumpus. Janet's writing has been published in [PANK], Catapult, Electric Lit, The Rumpus, Hobart, No Tokens, and many other places.
