ARTIST BIO
Jamie Quinn Mader (they/them) is a queer, mad, fat, non binary femme who writes from what is colonially known as Toronto, Ontario. They have written all their life to cope but only began taking writing seriously in 2017. They believe that good writing is transformative and magical. They truly think that literature can open doors to new ways of understanding one another's experiences. They've been published in a few magazines for poetry and self published a hybrid collection of essays and poetry called “Velcro Hearts: Queer Notes on Love and Healing.” They thoroughly enjoy creating communities centered on love and care and this inspires their writing on a daily basis.
