“Stacey May Fowles evokes Lives of Girls and Women in a text that is often sweetly sad, but not sorry.”
Mariko Tamaki,
co-creator of Skim

Combining Stacey May Fowles’s humorous, biting prose with Marlena Zuber’s whimsical and raw illustrations, Fear of Fighting searches for meaning in the mundane. Set in the lonely, urban landscape of downtown Toronto, the story revolves around Marnie, a broken-hearted young woman fighting to find something more.

Stacey May Fowles’s work has been widely anthologized in books including Nobody Passes: Rejecting The Rules of Gender and Conformity, First Person Queer, Yes Means Yes, and I.V. Lounge Nights. Her first novel, Be Good, was published by Tightrope Books in 2007.

Marlena Zuber is a freelance illustrator and artist. She graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design and her illustrations have appeared in various publications including the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, BUST Magazine and Print Magazine.
