RM: Why is this involvement important to you?

MT: It's just life. It's [important] because I am a writer and I want to be a part of a literary world. It's just important to participate in the world.

RM: What are you working on at the moment?

MT: Right now I am working on a comic book -- or a graphic novel that is in a more traditional comic book style -- that's being illustrated by Lauren McCubbin, who illustrated Rent Girl. It's called Carrier. It's a sort of riff on the super-hero myth. It's about a girl -- a teenage girl -- who turns into a pigeon. I also wrote a screenplay a while ago based on The Chelsea Whistle, and I am working with a producer to get that made into a film. Oh, and I'm editing an anthology called Transforming Community. It's writing about the emerging trans and queer communities. I also have another anthology coming out called Baby Remember My Name. It's new writing by queer girls under thirty, and there are amazing, amazing pieces in it.
