My non-fiction essay ‘No Visible Damage’ has been published by the brilliant Loose Lips Magazine in Canada.

About Loose Lips:

‘Since 2015, Loose Lips Magazine has been an independently-funded online publication that is proud to cover local arts, culture, women’s health, and current events. Our publication is co-founded by two journalism school grads who went searching for their media niche but decided to create it instead.

Our mandate is to inform in the spirit of equity, fairness, and honesty, with a dedication to anti-racist reporting. The content published on Loose Lips Magazine spotlights women, non-binary people, and other underrepresented voices.

We encourage pitches and contributions from experienced writers and journalists, especially people of colour, people of all abilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks.

Loose Lips is grateful to operate on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqeaum, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.’

I’m really delighted to have found a home for this important piece. Thank you to editor Brittany Tiplady for such careful and considered attention.

This essay contains details of domestic abuse, coercive control and violence.
