JAMES FRITZ WRITING
Where nightmares become novels - and occasionally my paycheck.
I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with degrees in business and music. Recently, I quit my job as a data analyst to pursue writing full-time. I love reading and writing, playing the piano, practicing jiu jitsu, snuggling with my partner, and proudly serving as the president of the Evgeny Kissin fan club. Currently, I'm on the hunt for a literary agent as I've just completed my first horror novel titled "Nightmare in 7/4: A Novel." You can connect with me on Instagram using the handle @james.fritz.writing.
