I am a straight person who is very active in supporting and advocating for GLBT people. I am a former church pastor who is disillusioned by church and fascinated by spirituality.

I love writing and have been blogging for 4 years. I am keen to learn all I can about zines but would also like to connect with and write for the GLBT zine community.

My blog is at http://lchatwin.blogspot.com

Please message me. I love networking and learning from others.

I live in Newcastle, NSW and would love to meet any of you in the area.

Hey guys :)

I'm currently studying art at Tafe and would love any feedback on some of the possible pages for my next "Book Art" volume. Just uploaded some photos.

Sorry to be a pest, but it's due soon and I heart constructive critiques... so go nuts if you do help a critter out ;)
