Adria Killion is a prose writer and poet based in southern California.

Adria started writing as a child in elementary school, picking it up again as a teenager as a means to express her turbulent inner monologue. She would journal her thoughts in the form of poetry, spilling her metaphorical blood and tears into the creation of her art. This lead to horror short stories and a genre-shift novel currently in the works.

Her writing today consists mainly of whimsical meter and thoughts on political crises. In the process of discovering her voice, she channeled this energy into her written work, hoping to reach her audience by verbally shaking them by the shoulders. She recently also decided to re-work her novel idea with her newfound perception of the world and its inhabitants.

The longing to be surrounded by other queer writers who share a similar sentiment for meeting their goals and encouraging their peers led Adria to start the Breakthrough at the Lit Lab community with co-leader Julian. The community has become a safe space for queer humans, which she provides with nothing less than excitement for her fellow creative minds.

Adria leads most of the community's meetings in the Discord server. She collaborates with zine editor Robin to share the community zine, Concoctions.
