Dr. Forté is the Founder and Current Editor in Chief of Alternative Publishing. A Dearborn-based writer, scientist, curator, and cultural advocate, Dr. Forté initiated our organization for accessible publishing to create space for the voices and stories that mainstream publishing has consistently sidelined and overedited, stolen from, and left in the margins of the industry.

With a background in community organization, computational toxicology, and environmental policy, Dr. Forté brings both editorial rigor, skills in digital footprints and data sovereignty, and a deep commitment to storytelling that has an impact on human life.

"We are in the business of tearing down the very prejudiced and nepotism rich publishing industry. AltPubs doesn't publish what's safe. We publish what's necessary."

Dr. Forté is available for speaking engagements, editorial consulting, and literary collaborations.
