Alyssa Graybeal

Hello! I'm a writer and cartoonist who lives in Astoria, Oregon.

I use observational humor to explore the emotional landscape of chronic illness and disability, the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in particular.

My book Floppy: Tales of a Genetic Freak of Nature at the End of the World (2023) won the Red Hen Nonfiction Book Award and was a finalist for the 2024 Oregon Book Award.

I have a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University and a Master's of Library and Information Studies from Dalhousie University, and I have only 20 years experience as an editor and indexer.
