Everything Body: a manuscript

I’m looking for a home for my manuscript, Everything Body, which I wrote and submitted as part of my master’s degree.

Everything Body is a series of meditations on corporeal embodiment and physicality presented in graphic form. It explores life as a non-binary soul in a female body – and whether that analogy holds water at all. The work occupies the darkest part of a Venn diagram comparing memoir, essay, and comix.

Everything Body has been reviewed by Georgie Broad here, and a chapter of it is available to read on Cult. Magazine here.

Agents, presses — feel free to get in touch using the socials buttons above or by emailing me at mammothro [at] gmail [dot] com.

“Everything Body is nothing short of a modern masterpiece, but then again that can also be said of its creator, Ro Daniels.”
George Broad (review of E.B.)

All of This is True

a chapter from everything body has been published by the good folks at Cult. Magazine.

this part of my book explores a changing relationship to sex. is it a natural disaster, like a tidal wave? is it a cyclical process, like leaves changing? could it be both?? read here.

strong CW for sexual violence.

chuffed that ‘portrait of a photograph’ has appeared in issue two of cobra milk. it’s a picture of friend Thom’s face but what if instead of lines it was words.

Number 5

cycle of poems exploring how it feels to be a foreigner, trolleybuses, and how cold it can get in winter. don’t worry if you can’t read russian — that’s part of the charm !

the structure was made by whiting out words from “Московия в представлении иностранцев XVI-XVII в.” & leaving the punctuation & a few of the words in black.
