Writer, poet, and creative AI explorer, I’ve spent the last 20 years weaving words across journalism, copywriting, ghostwriting, and storytelling. My work spans poetry, historical fiction, essays, and literary criticism, often exploring memory, identity, and the strange, beautiful ways we make sense of the world. When I’m not writing, I’m probably deep in a book, experimenting with AI, or chasing after the perfect cup of coffee. My blog at april.pagaling.com is where all these worlds collide. Writing, creativity, mom life, and everything in between.
