Sequential Tart

Since 2000 I have been writing articles, interviews, and reviews for Sequential Tart, which describes itself as:

1. a Web Zine about the comics industry published by an eclectic band of women; 2. a publication dedicated to providing exclusive interviews, in-depth articles and news, while working towards raising the awareness of women's influence in the comics industry and other realms.
In 2001 I became a staff writer, meaning I write something for Tart every month. I especially enjoy this work because in this venue my writing can teeter between the academic and the popular, I interview and write about people whose art and/or writing I enjoy, and I can interact directly with my readers through the Tartsville message boards, which allow discussion to grow out of articles and continue in a collaborative way I find exciting and inspirational.
