The best thing that happened today was… – For 101 days, Kelly wrote down the best thing that happened to him. This zine documents those best things, illustrating his sometimes silly, sometimes weird, sometimes boring and always geeky life.

The Coming Out Issue – This zine documents interactions Kelly had with friends and family as he started coming out as transgendered. Much of the zine is about his relationship with his mom, e-mails back and forth, letters, etc, that illustrate how far she’s come to be supportive. It also includes some pieces Kelly wrote for The Tranny Roadshow.

Now that I’m a dude – After being out as a transguy for about a year and a half, Kelly has had some ridiculous experiences. In shortandqueer #6, he wrote about how some things have changed in his life while others haven’t. Health, dating, co-workers, and weird interactions are the focus of this zine.
