funkylightningcat Books is an independent publishing label and newsletter resource founded by S.L. Funk, a self-published and upcoming author.

This label will primarily highlight and market works of fiction tackling the complex feelings and journeys dealing with mental health and the pursuit of art and self-expression. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as some Religious Trauma Syndrome are the main focuses of these works, but can also detail others like Anxiety, Depression, and circadian rhythm disorders.

While not meaning to be heavy-handed in depicting any of these topics, it will be essential to the brand of funkylightningcat Books to talk about them and highlight the voices affected by these mental illnesses.

If you are interested in these topics and love fiction, please consider subscribing or following today!

If you also would like to collaborate or talk more about your work in fiction and mental health, please message us; we’d love to talk more with you.
