I’m trying this new thing where I actually go after the life I want.

Small steps forward. Come with me.

Expungements by day and writer by night, you’ll find me chasing whatever daylight is left to write, read, create after my 8-to-5.

I’m a Salvadoran- and Iranian-raised writer with an MFA in Creative Writing from Chapman University. I write about family, identity, messy women, belonging, and the strange little places we learn to call home - with a possibly unreasonable amount of optimism sprinkled in. 

Come along for the journey, follow the side quests, and find me on socials (@kyiarasarlak) for the writing, adventures, and everything in between.

Thank you for being here.
