Hi hello 👋🏻

I’m Brianna Albers, a crip, cyborg storyteller living in Minneapolis-St. Paul. By day, I freelance as an editor and advocate. By night, I write about disabled girls, fairy tales, and the stars. When I’m not wishing for a monster husband of my own, I’m dreaming up ways for stories to change the world.

I live in snowy Minnesota with the cat of my heart, Rey. If I’m not writing, I’m probably indulging my imagination through ritual and art. You can follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Pinterest.

“Studies in Light” is a biweekly newsletter on writing and thriving as a disabled creative. Expect everything from micro-essays on mental health to book recs and daydreams.
