Get To Know Me!
My name is Winter Hart, and I'm a self-employed young adult and new adult fiction writer and aspiring novelist from Thousand Oaks, California. I'm also a current Creative Writing and English: Fiction Writing major online student at Southern New Hampshire University.
​
On other social media I'm a part of, I include that I like to do art, crafting, and occasional photography and YouTube vlogging. If you like casual vlogs, favorites videos, and reviews of bookish items and boxes or subscriptions, go ahead and check out my YouTube channel under the Social Links above!
While I love making YouTube videos, my career focus is on my writing and various written works I have, all of which are still in-progress as of December 2019.
Writing, as well as communicating clearly and cohesively, have always been a large part of my life. As such, in pursuit of my creative fiction projects, particularly my short stories, novels-in-progress, and flash fiction pieces, I'm able to, through words, explore the worlds within my imagination. It is my goal to share these stories of mine with wider audiences.
I tend to include LGBTQIA+ and perspectives and characters, magical realism, slice of life, and fantasy elements within nearly all of my works. I'm all about experimenting with different prompts, ideas, character archetypes, relationship dynamics, and points of view.

If you're intrigued by my works in progress, please do consider following me on my various social media accounts. I update YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter the most frequently, all of which are linked above as well as below.
