Profile: Karissa Chmil

I’m the girl who spins fantastic tales of worlds beyond our own and connects them to her own by the scars she weaves through the characters. A writer of three years (and counting), I’m in love with the speculative fiction genre and spend hours crafting worlds and characters to breathe life into my stories.
You’ll always be able to excite me by talking about books, discussing various parts of the writing process, or daydreaming about where we want our words to go someday. I love wind and stars and the sound that quivers in the air as the sound of a piano dies away, and I thrive on whimsical dreams and the lingers of dreams as I fall asleep.
Slipping into stories is one of my favorite things to do, and I’ve been a reader even longer than I’ve been a writer. You’ll often find me curled up with a book and a mug of tea, and my list of favorite books is always growing and is far too long to recall without checking.
