While I'm not working on design, I spend my time writing short stories, often for different projects and zines. Ancient Stories is a zine based on Greek myths retold and respun. All proceeds of this zine will go to the Human Rights Watch charity.
I had the privilege of participating in this project as a writer.
I wrote two short stories for this zine. Excerpts of both can be seen below in the promotional graphic.
The first, "Courtings and Crossroads", is a retelling of the kidnapping of Persephone from Hecate's perspective, written for the Gods and Goddesses section of the zine.
The second, "Snakes and Owls", is a retelling of the myth of Medusa and Athena with a more feminist spin, written for the Monsters section of the zine.
This zine was sold both digital and physical copies, as well as with physical merchandise accompanying the zine. Below is the two short stories I wrote for this zine.
