ABOUT THE EDITOR
Nanette Cloud is a nonbinary-transfeminine cartoonist & zinester based in Spokane, WA. She teaches a bunch of art classes in the community through various local orgs she likes to work with.
Her art was featured in Terrain 12 and Terrain 13, which is pretty cool if you live in Spokane. She was also nominated for a Spokane Arts Imagination Award in 2022, she didn’t win it (drat!) but it was still a super cool experience.She self-publishes her own creative works in print and online, she’s somehow managed to make at least one new minicomic or zine every year since 2017. Her queer horror webcomic, Skeletons in the Closet has been called “neat” by several tinder dates, so someday she’ll try and finish it, but lately she’s been distracted with life and other projects (like this one!).When she worked at Spark Central she published a weekly zine called YOUCANDRAW that featured the work of people who went to her Drop in and Draw program, other than that, this project is her first time attempting to publish the work of others, unless you count that time she tried to do it in college when no one submitted to her project (please don’t count the time she tried to do it in college!)Nanette has a BA from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA with an emphasis in arts and digital communications, but it’s under her deadname, make of it what you will.She likes writing about herself in the third person cause it helps her appreciate herself better, especially in the winter when the seasonal depression kicks in.Thats right, it's been me writing this the whole time! Every time I said "WE" or "OUR" it was in the royal sense of the word cuz it's basically just me doing this.Anyways, here's my portfolio site if you wanna check out my work.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT
At the beginning of developing this project I (the editor) reached out to Mutual Aid Survival Squad, Spectrum Center, and Quail House for support. I chose these organizations because I have worked with each of them a lot in the past. This section of the site details their contributions to the project.
SPECTRUM CENTER has donated $750 to the project in the form of 15 $50 gift cards. We're offering these gift cards to several artists who we solicited work from directly. Spectrum center is also assisting us with marketing and providing volunteers from their staff to help at the folding party. One of their staff members also offered to help with negotiating additional financial support from other organizational sponsors, and recommended some grants for us to apply for. Here's their website.MUTUAL AID SURVIVAL SQUAD (MASS) has offered to assist with distribution and production, as well as getting the word out through social media and flyer canvasing (they're amazing at flyer canvasing). In particular they've offered to reach out to trans houseless folks in the Spokane community to solicit submissions, these folks will be additionally compensated for their work. Here's their websiteQUAIL HOUSE is a lil thing that the editor started up with some friends of hers to publish zines and organize events together. This is not a Quail House project but they've offered to help with the production and distribution processes. They don't have a website, but heres the wikipedia article on quails. Did you know that there are 45 different types of quails? We didn't! That's rad. As we find additional organizations to support this project we'll list their contributions here.
