Books & Zines

Publication News!

My full-length epistolary memoir, The Year I Wrote You, co-written with the amazing Leah Abrams, has been acquired by Galiot Press. It’s due out in May 2027.

But right now, I have zines for you!

These are meticulously edited, high-end art book / chapbook-style zines, not classic gritty photocopied zines. I apologize to any classic gritty zinemakers who object to my appropriation of the term.

A memoir about grief and art in 2,300 words and 23 paintings.

72 pages in a full-color, perfect-bound paperback, 8” x 10”.
