Lynn Fuller (she/her) is a writer and photographer based in Evanston, IL. Her work has been published in Invisible City, Plainsongs, Marrow Magazine, and is forthcoming in The Sun. She was a 2024 scholarship recipient for the Salty Quill writing retreat for women and an artist-in-residence at Alderworks Alaska for the summer of 2025. Her solo mixed media photo exhibition, Regenerate, was at the Heartwood Center in winter/spring of 2025, and she was selected for an IAC artist grant for the 2026 cycle.
Having leaned into the barter system for over a decade, Lynn is particularly interested in working with nonprofits, small businesses, and underserved communities who would otherwise be unable to afford photography services.
Her current works-in-progress include:
—a novel examining AI, the commercialization of psychedelics, prison reform, and other ethical quandaries in a burning world
—an interconnected collection of short stories centered around pilot programs and authentic connection across digital divides and invasive technology
—a photo essay about the importance of interim spaces and connection with the natural world
—a bentwood sculptural piece rooted in the Great Lakes
—study of folk herbalism and foraging, culminating in an apprenticeship on an island on the Salish Sea in 2026, with the intention of applying the knowledge and practice toward community health in urban settings
As a child, Lynn liked to read books about magical places, animals, the intricacies of relationships, and class divides. She also liked to read the dictionary and spent hours in her cozy closet, practicing latch hook and playing endless games of Simon, which augmented her aptitude for pattern recognition in people and social trends. She uses this skill to imagine cycle-breaking pathways in her fiction and to help the people who pass through her life become unstuck.
She's an advocate for peaceful resistance and education that folds aging and death into the natural processes in life—transitions to be revered and supported rather than stigmatized and feared. Lynn is also a lifelong rock hound who feels most at home by the water and is convinced she was a tough but tender sea captain in a former life.
If she gives you a rock, it means she likes you.
