Green Again

Green Again is the debut of J. Askew and is currently being pitched out. It follows Hazel Fox, a feral woman in an abandoned city, who needs to learn fast, and avoid the darkness of her mind.

Representation in Sci-Fi and Horror

J. Askew believes in more representation in sci-fi and horror. She is an advocate for more women, and more LGBTQ+ people in these genres. Sci-fi has always pushed boundaries and shown audiences a new way of seeing the world. Expanding on this by supporting more underrepresented authors is a passion for J. Askew.
