Hi, I’m Alyssa Musso

I work as a full-time scientist, but I live as a full-time creative. What started as a hobby in the comfort of my own free time as a child has evolved into something much larger over the past few years of my adulthood.

From writing short stories in marble composition notebooks at the age of ten, to drafting the beginnings of my first novel as a teenager, to pursuing various writing retreats and residencies across the world as a thirty-something-year-old. It has taken years for me to get here, and I have never been more grateful for my experiences along the way.
