About Siloh

I mostly write prose, flirt with poetry, and especially love research-based and experimental literary essays.

My creative practice is informed by living with chronic illness and ADHD, so I’m intimately familiar with the challenges and joys of making work outside the bounds of genre and writing advice. As a coach and educator, I’m passionate about helping others bring their ideas to life without leaving themselves behind.

My writing has been published in Entropy, [PANK], Identity Theory, Teen Vogue, Alchemy, and elsewhere. I’m currently working on a book of linked personal essays exploring family mental illness, subculture, and the paradox of making a livable life alongside chronic catastrophe. 

I’m grateful that my work has been supported through residencies at the Ragdale Foundation and Springboard for the Art’s Hinge Arts program. I have an interdisciplinary BA from The Evergreen State College and an MFA in Writing from UC San Diego.

I live with my partner and dog outside of Olympia, Washington on the homelands of the Squaxin Island and Skokomish Tribes. You can stay in the loop with me through my monthly newsletter Essence of Toast, and hear me discuss the creative process with other writers and artists on my podcast Experimental Practice.
