About Mo

Mo Medusa is a Disabled and Lesbian Writer, Vocalist, and Artist from Chicago, IL. They are the author of Feeding Lucy, a horror novella published in 2024. Their short story, Made With Love, is featured in Twisted Horrors: A Queer Horror Anthology, and their poem, (dis) Abled, is featured in HNDL Magazine. In their spare time, they enjoy deep diving into new music finds, sipping a (non-alcoholic) beer by the lake, and watching way too much trash TV. Mo lives on the north side with their cats, birds, and human child.

Beyond writing, Mo has a passion for creating in many forms. In 2024, they began selling their handmade items at vendor events and craft markets, working with several different mediums and finding out more about who they are as an artist. But in the end, their love for books would be the driving force for their art moving forward. In early 2025, Mo discovered their love of book-binding and book arts after a class at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL, and have been creating handmade books at their home studio ever since.

With a passion for both writing and book arts, Mo has taken their creativity to the next level: writing stories for readers all over the world, and making 100% hand-crafted books for fellow writers and artists to explore their own talents.
