My name is Ariel Bissett (b. 1994) and I’m a Canadian writer and filmmaker living in Nova Scotia.

I’m currently renovating my 1850s Gothic Revival house and sharing the journey on YouTube. I’m also the co-host of Books Unbound, a weekly bookish podcast.

I organize my shelves by genre and then colour and my favourite book is Animal Farm.
