Mab's Page

I write a perzine called RatBrat, which is usually half-size, but was recently published in a quarter-size format for the first time. Issues are generally between 25-50 pages long. I write about my life, observations of the world, and anything that is important to me at the time of writing. I use zines for self-expression and to capture things that are relevant in my life in the moment. Subjects in past issues have included having bipolar disorder, general life experiences, book and zine reviews, death, love, and my pets. I also write some fiction and poetry. I try to write about things that I feel are situations and experiences other people might share or relate to, but ultimately, my zines are there for the purpose of emptying my mind and creating things I enjoy.

I am a kick-ass girl living in the middle of Pennsylvania, who loves animals, smokes too many cigarettes, and hasn't traveled enough to satisfy my need for adventure (yet). I am in a transitional phase of my life after moving suddenly out of my parents' house and deciding that what I just spent the last 3 years going to school for is not what I love. I am figuring things out, and in the meantime, I am zining.
