I’ve been talking a LOT about Meat and Bone! Here’s the most recent interviews. There’s a lot of overlap in questions, but each interviewer took their own angle with Meat and Bone and qhat they wanted to explore in it. I’d love to do more deep-dives into the plot and the characters of my new book. Hopefully more to come!

Also I’m still really hoping someone does  acriticism piece on the book, that would be amazing to learn from a serious perspective.

A queer slice-of-life drama about dating and eating.

Anne thinks that getting a new place with her two best friends will be a fresh start — then she meets Marshall, the girl downstairs. Their friendship will trigger body image issues she thought she had left behind. Meanwhile, Gwen tries out polyamorous dating and Jane practically moves into the gym, where she quietly works through her problems and those of her friends. In Meat and Bone, Kat Verhoeven winds these threads into an unflinching, beautifully illustrated exploration of how three Toronto women define themselves.

COMING OUT NEXT WEEK!!

Gorgeous fat galley proofs! It feels amazing to even hold this mockup of “Meat and Bone” in my hands and really feel the presence of so much work and time. It’s a big book! And the neon ink looks so damn good. Can’t wait to see the proper books with all the spot gloss and glue binding. Guys, it’s real! And it’s coming out in exactly three months, wow wow wow.

This is the working cover for the my graphic novel “Meat and Bone”, a story about three roomates and their relationships with their bodies, food, each other…and the mysterious neighbor girl downstairs.
