Jay Sennett, Editor

Publisher, Editor, Anthologist and Cartoonist

Besides publishing Self-Organizing Men and the cartoons, my main gig is as the founder and publisher of Homofactus Press, a global digital micropress. But starting a micropublishing company dedicated to helping trans folks and FtMs feel good about themselves is not nearly as crazy as cartooning.

By far the craziest thing I have done in my life is creating and publishing these cartoons. I can? draw. In real time I don't think I'm funny. But as long-post, uber theoretical blogger, I suck some serious wind. So I decided that if I couldn't say what I needed to say in a business-card sized cartoon, I had no business saying it.

"Better Branding Opportunities"

The second craziest thing I have done in my life is change my gender.

Homofactus Press published its first book in September 2006, Self-Organizing Men to rave reviews. (Yes, this is shameless self-promotion on my part, since I edited the book.) Lest you think HfP is simply my vanity press, we will, in 2007, be publishing Eli Clare's The Marrow's Telling: Words in Motion, a collection of prose and poetry that spans a 15 year period and is organized not as a memoir but as an exploration of how bodies carry and translate histories and identities. We will also be publishing a collection of essays by Nick Kiddle . Currently we are still accepting submissions for Spokes: Intimates of color, trans-identities, masculinity and relativity.

I am hard at work on A Bespoke Body, a digital memoir about transsexuality, hand-tailored clothing, and plastic and gynecologic surgery.

The cartoons you find here are yours to distribute via the internet or whatever means you have. If you want to use my cartoons for your own stuff, please consider buying Self-Organizing Men.

Thank you applying some of your irreplaceable life energy to this website.
