</About Me>

Jasper (they/them) is a Memphis-based author, humorist, ​poet and editor at Focus Magazine. Their work has been ​featured in The Offing, Oldster Mag, Huffington Post, Bitch ​Mag, anthology book OUTSIDE THE XY, and many others. ​Jasper currently runs two awesome newsletters—one ​self-titled, with the hopes of bringing biweekly whimsy to ​people's inboxes, and the other called HERE TO ​COMPLAIN, where annoyed black and brown folks share th​eir microaggressive work stories. They also mentor at ​the Sam & Devorah Trans Youth Project. Jasper's ​chapbook, A FLAMBOYANCE, is out now with Bottlecap ​Press, and their YA fantasy novel, JUNIPER LEAVES, is ​available where books are sold.
