Hi, I'm Tegan E. Webb. I make [fiction]<c2|, zines and [digital experiments]<c8|. I like to write about speculative futures, technology and strange creatures who often have a lot of feelings but sometimes have trouble communicating them. That strange creature is sometimes me, to be fair. I [perform my work]<c5| and [run workshops]<c6| at festivals and one off events across the country. Also, the novella I'm currently working on was [shortlisted]<c9| for a writing prize in 2019, which was pretty damn cool. If you would like to [get in touch]<c7| for work, collaboration or just to say hi, please do, I would love to chat. (click:?c7)[email: tewebb23(at)gmail.com instagram: @tegan _ ew ]
