Leigh Alexander
I'm a writer, critic and industry journalist on the art, business and design of interactive entertainment and video games. In my self-published work, I experiment with new formats and approaches to writing about games, from first-person storytelling and immersive critique to fiction! Every piece I publish here on Gumroad is a collaboration with another artist, writer or creator, ideally with an extra focus on boosting the voices of women and marginalized people within gaming and tech. I'm aiming to produce a content system where I'm always paying somebody else every time I publish here. Your purchases help me keep working and innovating in games writing, support my collaborators, and sustain me as I aim to help build a viable ecosystem around new kinds of conversation in and about games, tech and the internet.

MONA (Deluxe edition with audiobook)
By
Leigh Alexander
Part urban horror story, part tribute to Silent Hill 2, Leigh Alexander's MONA is about a young writer and the appetites eating away at her. Illustrations by the award-winning Emily Carroll (Through The Woods, The Yawhg).
You definitely do not have to have played Silent Hill 2 to enjoy the story.
The "deluxe" version includes a stylish audiobook by yours truly. If you only want the digital reading formats, go here: https://gum.co/MonaBasic
Buying self-published works from me lets me keep experimenting with digital books, short fiction and other new, weird ways of writing about games, tech and culture, and lets me pay collaborators like Emily, too. Paying above the price tag is making a donation to my work -- your readership, support and encouragement is deeply appreciated.
- You'll get the "deluxe" package, which includes a 24-page PDF, Kindle and iBooks formats, and an MP3 audiobook.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for buying Clipping Through. Selling small books is a way for me to continue sustainably in games writing, and hopefully to pay collaborators, too. If you enjoy this book, please consider blogging, Tweeting, Facebook-ing, et cetera about it as I'd love for it to reach as many people as possible.
Your support makes my work possible. I hope you enjoy the book!
