BIO: Tessa Hulls is an artist, writer, and adventurer who is equally likely to disappear into the wilderness or a research library. Her debut graphic memoir, Feeding Ghosts, won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, the Eisner Award, the Anisfield-Wolf Award, and the Libby Award, and was a finalist for the Kirkus Prize, Pacific Northwest Book Award, and Cartoonist Studio Prize. Tessa's creative practice weaves genres in category-defying ways, and she is pivoting her career to fuse her two great loves of creativity and the wilderness by becoming an embedded comics journalist working in long-term partnership with scientists and Indigenous organizations working in remote environments. She would love to hear from you if you want to partner with her on this endeavor.
