Hi! It's time I did an #Introduction!

I'm Jess Walton. I'm a #fat, white, #queer, #nonbinary / #agender, #disabled #writer & parent living on #BoonWurrungLand.

I would love to find other writers here, and queer, fat and disabled community.

My most recent book is a graphic novel called #StarsInTheirEyes (Published in Australia by Fremantle Press in 2021, coming out in the US with Scholastic in 2023).

My picture book #IntroducingTeddy was published by Bloomsbury in 2016.

I've also started branching out into TV writing (I cowrote the disability episode of #GetKrackin season 2) and #poetry.

I'm an #amputee with #ChronicPain, #depression and #anxiety so when I'm not writing I'm usually trying to decompress / distract myself with reading, TV and film.

I read picture books, MG and YA, and #GraphicNovels for any age group! I also read #DisabilityTheory, nonfiction, memoirs, and poetry.

The TV shows I'm OBSESSED with are #OurFlagMeansDeath, #SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower, #StevenUniverse, #Heartstopper, #DeadEnd, and #KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts

Other favourite shows are #Cleverman, #DoctorWho (the newer ones), #DerryGirls, #Centaurworld, #HeartbreakHigh (the reboot), #StrangerThings, #Utopia, #KikiAndKitty, #Hilda, #TheKateringShow, #TwelveForever & #InfinityTrain.

My favourite movies are #Ponyo, #MyNeighbourTotoro, #CripCamp (documentary), #DarkCity, and #TheBabadook.

I play #HeroesOfMightAndMagic2, #Diablo2, and #Simcity. I sing and play ukulele. That's it! That's Me!
