Sydney Hayes is an author, poet, artist, and part-time human residing in Madison Heights, Virginia and being kept alive by a diet of espresso and cat cuddles. She spends her spare time obsessing over fictional characters and singing showtunes with her husband. She is a connoisseur of television shows and pasta and she once happily stood in the freezing rain for the entirety of a Green Day concert to maintain her emo integrity.

​

​Sydney has spent the last several years writing and editing fan fiction between full-time work and school and in doing so has learned that her writing passion lies in LGBTQ+ romance. She currently works as a technical documentation coordinator and plans to use her new BA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University to pursue publication for her first novel.
