writing

writer’s bio :

I started experimenting with writing around 2019, and my writing really took off during my tenure at university studying comparative world and European literature, from January 2023 to December 2025. I have been published three consecutive years in the American University of Paris’ Paris/Atlantic student literary review, and two consecutive years in the annual poetry and prose collection from Paris-based writer’s collective Le Phare. Below I have listed the editions, as well as providing links when available. I also publish some work to medium.com/@jjdixey

As for my writing, I am interested in a lot of different themes, and I try and work different environments and physical spaces into my writing where I can. Often I find myself ruminating on the many facets my own experience moving to a new country in the twilight of my teenage years, and I find inspiration most often in things I see in the different environments I pass through. If I had to put my writing into a genre, I would ascribe it something between literary horror and magical realism, by which I mean I tend to always have something horrific at the apex or the center of my story, but the style of my writing and the way in which I address these center-pieces is very influenced by the authors who I credit as inspiration; Franz Kafka, Can Xue, Jorge Luis Borges, and Guadelupe Nettel to name a few.

I write mostly in English but I am also working on writing en Español, in fact I have published a piece in Spanish, but I would say my ability to express myself in the former comes a lot more fluidly to me.
