I recently discovered that Tugboat Press reviewed my zine, Kindergarten Underground, in their Best Zine Ever! publication and this is what they wrote:

“Mara does a great job of describing her introduction into the world of elementary school teaching. Through writing, tons of illustrations and a few comics, she tells stories of teaching children and how her job shapes her life. The zine includes the story of a real lockdown at her school which had me in tears. We leave our children with teachers every day and I can only hope half of them are as responsible and awesome as Mara!”

As a result, a tiny zine publishing company in Chicago has expressed interest in distributing my work. Nothing may come of it, however, I’m deeply flattered. This is also motivation to get crackin on Kindergarten Underground Volume 2!
