All this wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing agent, Sara Crowe, who made sure my debut graphic novel would land in good hands. And those hands belong to the incredible Clarissa Wong at HarperCollins!

It will be a while until it hits shelves—the first book comes out sometime in Winter 2023, to be a little less vague. So please be sure to look out for it laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaater.
