Born and raised in La Conner, WA, September spent her youth exploring the woods of the Swinomish Indian Reservation and the plant and sea life of the San Juan Islands. The magic and myths of her upbringing have informed her writing into adulthood, resulting in a growing collection of literary and cross-genre work that explores themes of personal transformation, grief, trauma, and feminism.

 

September's work is forthcoming in The Stray Branch and has been published in Roi Fainéant Press, Crow & Cross Keys,The Squawk Back, and elsewhere. She is currently working on a novel.

​

September will be a Writer-in-Residence at Hypatia in the Woods on the Olympic Peninsula, Spring 2025 and at Arteles in Haukijärvi, Finland for the month of September 2025.

​

September also works as a freelance book editor. She is the founder and Editor in Chief of Weird Lit Magazine and the founder of the Sasquatch Club writing collective.

​

Prior to her writing and editing career, September founded and fronted the goth rock band Hills of Elysium. September led this project through the release of three studio albums, regional performances, and a Norwegian tour.​ The group constructed a recording studio that served as an incubator for a collective of local bands and solo artists. In addition to her duties as band manager and lead singer, September mentored emerging musicians and fostered myriad cross-medium collaborations

​

When she's not writing or editing, September can be found veganizing her favorite Japanese dishes, combing rocky beaches of the Pacific Northwest, and daydreaming about becoming a floatplane pilot. She lives in Richmond Beach, WA with her partner and three feline familiars.
