BIOGRAPHY:
Besides publishing cartoons and editing Self-Organizing Men, Jay the founder and publisher of Homofactus Press, a global digital micropress. But starting a micropublishing company dedicated to helping trans folks good about themselves is not nearly as crazy as cartooning.
By far the craziest thing Jay has done in his life is creating and publishing cartoons. He can’t draw. But he decided that if he couldn’t say what he needed to say in a business-card sized cartoon, he had no business saying it. The second craziest thing he has done in his life is change his gender.
Jay is currently at work on two writing projects, a novel with no title, and A Bespoke Body: A Memoir Without Origins. He is also passionate about creating more access for Homofactus Press readers. To this end he is working on a text message project that will target readers with limited access to the internet.
