PROFILE

Slow writer, reader, and regular cinemagoer based in Zürich, Switzerland.

Jo's work has appeared in DEARS, Zwischentext, Sunday Mornings at the River, Beyond the Veil Press, and Querencia Press.

Their writing is largely concerned with memory and identity. 

​

Jo is also a regular cinema-goer and avid reader, an amateur Pokémon collector, and a very novice guitarist. Generally curious and easily tempted by new hobbies, Jo is always finding something new to read, watch, write, learn, or collect.​
