Hello, and welcome to Ink & Starstuff.
I’m Shana Targosz, author of fantasy books for readers of all ages repped by Andrea Morrison at Writers House. I’m also a linocut artist and printmaker, solo RPG game designer, plushie maker, and costume designer for stage and screen.
What is Ink & Starstuff?
Ink, for the things we commit to paper—words that build the stories we create, and sketches and doodles which evolve into works of art.
Starstuff, for the intangible, ever-shifting things—the magical place where ideas come from, and the origin of our wishes and dreams.

Do I have to pay for access?
Ink & Starstuff is a reader-supported publication. Access to my basic newsletter is free, and any paid subscriber support will allow this publication to grow and develop. Paid subscribers get exclusive access to video tutorials, process videos/posts, and will gain early access to limited edition linocut prints, short runs of RPG zines, one-of-a-kind crafted items, and bonus content (all offered through a secret, wandering shop only open on occasion). Paid subscribers will also have my unending gratitude—your support makes it possible for me to continue creating things wild & weird.
