My Why:
I would like to see more positive stories about witches and other magical creatures that do not emphasize the darkness, otherness or scaryness that fairytales and folklore so often portray. I want to encourage readers sense of wonder and a desire to engage and learn about everything and everyone that they come into contact with.
