the verbal thing

She mostly writes intersectional pop culture analysis with a particular focus on representation of LGBTQ and fat characters in fiction. Samantha is also the co-creator and editor-in-chief of Fatventure Mag, an outdoors zine for fat women and non-binary creators who are into being active, but not into toxic weight-loss culture.

In addition to her regular freelance work, Samantha is currently writing her first book. She is represented by Maria Vicente at P.S. Literary Agency.
