Jamie Quinn Mader, poet

Jamie Quinn Mader (they/them) is a queer, mad, fat, non binary femme who writes from what is colonially known as Toronto, Ontario. They have written all their life to cope but only recently started working on honing their skills as a writer. They believe that good writing is transformative and magical. They truly think that literature can open doors to new ways of understanding one another's experiences. They've been published in a few magazines for poetry and self published a hybrid collection of essays and poetry called “Velcro Hearts: Queer Notes on Love and Healing.” which is available online on Amazon. On days when they aren't writing they are doing one of a million hobbies and chilling with Cordelia, their cat.
