Philip BarraganPhilip Barragan grew up in the San Fernando Valley, the not-so-sleepy suburb of Los Angeles. Philip devoted much of his life providing social services to the disenfranchised, including several years in Catholic seminary studying for the priesthood. Sending his days at the County Health Department, Philip works towards healthcare for all regardless of immigration status. In 2005, Philip returned to school to complete his education and graduated with an MFA in Creating Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2011. Philip's debut dystopian novel, Fatizen 24602, was published by Branch Hill Publications in 2015 and is the basis for the newly released Fatizen, The Graphic Novel, released in July 2017. Philip established Embonpoint Publishing in early 2017 to publish a series of graphic novels when he realized that many publishers were hesitant to take on the issues of size-positivity with an unapologetic philosophy of optimum health at every size. Philip believes that there is space in this world for everyone, regardless of body size. Read More Read Less
