Tegan E Webb

Hi, I'm Tegan E. Webb. I make fiction, zines and digital experiments. 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 and run workshops at festivals and one off events across the country. Also, the novella I'm currently working on was shortlisted for the Seizure Viva La Novella Writing Prize in 2019, which was pretty damn cool.

If you would like to get in touch for work, collaboration or just to say hi, please do, I would love to chat.
