HEARTWOOD: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy

HEARTWOOD: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy is the first ever non-binary comics anthology, made entirely by cartoonists who identify as a non-binary gender! The book is 250+ pages long, B&W interior, and features 21 young-adult stories.

Across time and cultures, humanity has spun tales about the forest: tales of caution, adventure, rites of passage, and discovery. Some of those stories persist as the folklore and fairy tales that delight our imaginations today, and the forest remains a symbol for facing the unknown and emerging transformed.

This anthology is for everyone who’s walked through the undergrowth, in the silence of nature, and longed for an adventure of their own to unfold. These stories of modern-day sylvan fantasy showcase some of the best non-binary cartoonists of our day, guiding characters like us into the woods and back again.

Back us today to make the magic happen!

The Heartwood comic anthology from @powerandmagic press has been successfully funded on kickstarter! It’s reached over $65,800 so far, unlocking a $15 page pay rate increase for the book artists and three new PDF comics by Melanie Gilman, Alex Assan with Lin Darrow and Lee Lai. If the campaign reaches $76,500 in the next 60 hours you will also get a new PDF comic from me! You can support the kicktstarter right here.

I'm a visual learner/thinker, so deciding on story order for #HeartwoodAnthology was a nightmare... until I thought to print out baby-sized Heartwood pages and shuffle them around!!!
