Welcome to Soft News!

A home for writing and art about the soft stuff in life

My name is Joy Alicia Raines. I write comics about family, community, love, home, and emotion, and I am working on my debut literary fiction novel. I also freelance full-time as a designer and marketer.

Soft News is a destination for my thoughts, a place to share my work, and a platform to discuss the process of writing and art-making.

Thank you for being here, and happy reading!!
