About Chava Possum
(They/Them)
Chava Possum by PossumMood
I’m a reader, writer, and farmer. I write mainly about my home region of Appalachia, though now I live on the other side of the country, and my stories center around suicide and suicide prevention.
I’m a 28 year old white, non-binary, neurodivergent, Jewish, and rural writer. Currently, I am writing short horror stories.
At the University of Pittsburgh, I received my BA in English Writing and Film Studies. As a Teaching Assistant in writing workshops, I worked with other young writers to help build their voices on the page, to tell their stories, and to discover the resources they need to blossom. This is a part of the work I cherish.
When I lived in Pittsburgh, PA, I wrote briefly for the Pittsburgh Magazine.
Shortly after, I was the manager at the downtown branch of Amazing Books and Records, where I learned about the role independent bookstores play in their communities.
I hope Rebel Mouthed Books can be a supportive space for any and all young writers (young and young at heart) to work and grow together.
