Longform Publications

original art, writing, and projects by Amanda Fawcett

LONGFORM is my collection of zines, collages, essays, photography, and publishing experiments. My long-term goal is to develop Longform into a literary and arts journal for Seattle-based creators.

I’m a visual designer, artist, editor, writer, and photographer. Longform is also my philosophy. For years, I lost my creativity; my attention span was fractured by the oppressive efficiency of the digital world, by the manifold evils of late stage capitalism, by years of spiritual stagnation and emotional escapism.

Doing things the long way, the handwritten way has been a tool in reclaiming myself. Longform is a way of being, an intention.
