I’m a freelance writer and editor who reads and writes across genres. My keenest interest lies in science fiction and fantasy, memoir and personal essay, and young adult and middle-grade fiction. I’m also a feminist, mother, introvert, cat-lover, and vagabond wannabe.

My interest in Interactive Fiction was sparked in 2016, when I attended a workshop on non-linear storytelling. It absolutely lit me up in a way writing had not done in years. It was the “container” I needed to write about characters I’d been carrying for most of my life. Excited to embark on this creative journey, I wrote my first messy IF novel during the first trimester of my first pregnancy, then put the exploration on hold during the intense early years of parenting. You can read more about that journey here: https://www.laceylouwagie.com/my-decade-long-journey-to-interactive-fiction/ .

I’m excited to let myself be a “beginner” and soak up everything this corner of the literary world has to offer.
