Obligatory first post! Hello, my name’s Alyssa and I’m a reader, writer, and editor. I also doodle from time to time. Here are some things I enjoy:
- Dystopian fiction (but really all books)
- Anime (somehow all my favourite ones have silly detectives)
- Cats, frogs, raccoons (love ‘em!)

Had a great time at the launch party for Existere Vol. 45! It’s been such an amazing journey over the last four years getting to work on this literary journal—starting as a junior editor, social media manager (check out @existerejournal), all the way up to now as the Managing Editor. 💜
