Here are some quick facts:1. My pronouns are she/her.
2. "Cosbrarian" is a portmanteau of cosplay and librarian. My former online life was all about crafty cosplay. 3. I'm Filipino-American! Yes, I know I don't look it. Aren't genes weird? 4. My undergrad was in theatre performance and costuming, and I worked as a children's theatre educator for many years. The last play I was in was a children's touring production of "The Three Bears." Here are some causes I care about:DONATE to southern trans orgs, support the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, please fight book bans in your community, get involved with your local library, and help protect reproductive rights in your state.

FAQ: Where can I get your book F*cked Up Fairy Tales?
You can get it at any bookseller or store that sells new books. I recommend your favorite independent bookstore! But it is also available through big box stores, online retailers, and department stores. Do you have a podcast? I host an occasional podcast exclusive to Patreon. There are several episodes free to the public that you can preview. I have also been a guest on American Hysteria, The Bechdel Cast, Grimm Grimmer Grimmest, and You Are Good, among others. I have direct links to those on my lnk.bio. Where do you find your fairy tales? Besides my large book collection, I am a frequent user of The Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, and my local library. I provide my favorite sources here. How do you become a librarian? Some jobs in libraries are paraprofessional, but most librarian positions require a masters degree in Library and Information Sciences. If you can afford grad school, getting your MLS or MLIS is a good place to start. How do you become a folklore expert? I am not an expert; I am an enthusiast! But masters programs in folklore or storytelling exist, and you can take college-level folklore courses for an affordable price with the fabulous ladies of The Carterhaugh School. (Disclaimer: I am an affiliate for select courses.) What is your favorite fairy tale? "Allerleirauh," "The Snow Queen," and "The Happy Prince" are among my many favorites. What is your favorite book? I reread both The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper and The Winter Prince by Elizabeth Wein frequently. They are both riffs on Arthurian legend.
