Witch. A name stuck like a label to a jar. Now there is a man who could say a word and make it mean a thing.
My new micro A Woman of No Consequence is out at lovely Paranoid Tree, where you can read the tiny story in full. Update: Now nominated for Best Microfiction 2025!
If you’re so inclined, you can also get it as a beautiful solo foldout zine custom-illustrated by Camille Chew. A hand-addressed, hand-stamped envelope will arrive bearing this layered 11” x 17” risograph print on creamy 70lb paper.
Paranoid Tree is an independent micropress that understands the nature of creative, collaborative work. They put all their profits toward making these interesting art objects, and toward paying their contributors. Please support them if you can. Here’s the masthead, all engaged, creative, lovely people: Alyssa Bluhm1, Jess Eckerstorfer, Shiksha Dhedha, Andrea Nelson.
