Editor-in-Chief Barbra Dillon Talks Fanbase Press, Fandom, and Finding Your Voice

What do comics, queer storytelling, voice acting, and Jedi recruitment have in common? One fabulous human: Barbra Dillon.

We’re hanging out with the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder of Fanbase Press, the award-winning indie publisher that’s putting powerful, inclusive stories at the front of geek culture. Barbra spills on what it means to build a platform for marginalized voices, why indie creators are the real MVPs, and how fandom can fuel change.

Oh — and did we mention she voiced Katniss Everdeen? Because she totally did.

From the Latinx Comic Arts Festival to Graphic Medicine International Collective, Barbra’s got her hands in all kinds of game-changing creative spaces — and she’s doing it with heart, hustle, and hella style.

If you’re into comics, queer rep, or just want to hear from a total boss in the world of geek media, this one’s for you. Hit play. Let’s go.
