Exploring what it means to be human
I’m Jason McBride, best-selling author and poet-cartoonist. I also run the analog Werido Poetry Snail Mail Club, where I send out a physical letter and 4×6 poetry comic art print every month.
When I’m not wandering around the Pacific Northwest searching for poems, I can be found helping authors and businesses with my freelance writing, illustration, and book design services. Send me a message or book a discovery call with my calendar link to see if we are a good fit.
I’m opposed to using AI for my creative endeavors. I write my own words, make my own art, and come up with my own ideas.
