Hi, I'm Tegan E. Webb. I [write]<c2|, make zines and build [digital experiments]<c8|. I mostly like to write about past, present and imagined technologies and strange creatures who often have a lot of feelings. That strange creature is sometimes me, to be fair.
I've [performed my work]<c5| and [run workshops]<c6| at festivals and one off events across the country. I'm also currently working on a collection of stories about robots, tentitively titled If, Then, Else. It's still a WIP, but if you want to get a sense of the vibes you can check out my most recent story in Long Trek Press, or read an excerpt from my [shortlisted]<c9| novella, Klea and Xta.
From 2015-2021 I volunteered at zine shop and collective Sticky Institute, and currently I run a bi-monthly zine club for experimental games and arts space Sabby Gallery.
Ok, I think that's everything. If you would like to [get in touch]<c7| for work, collaboration or just to say hi, please do, I would love to chat.
