Silver Webb is oh-so many things. A writer and editor of 20+ years, she is the author of A Hundred Shattered Stars, a short story collection available for purchase on amazon. In Summer 2026, her novella The Pale will be published. She founded The Santa Barbara Literary Journal and was editor-in-chief of it for seven years. Silver has been a food writer for Food & Home Magazine, Chocolats du Calibressan, and Kanaloa Seafoods. Her articles and interviews featured prominently in Pacifica Graduate Institute’s Post.

If only Cal Poly had said yes, Silver would’ve started off her professional life as a graphic designer. However, Cal Poly said, “Great portfolio, but it’s fine art not design work.” A few years later, Silver taught herself graphic design as a graduate student, when she was co-editor of a student journal. And it’s proven to be more a livelihood than graduate school ever provided. Silver has worked as a graphic designer for social media, book covers, literary journals, and more. And that fine art Cal Poly said was great? Can you call what Silver refers to as her “naked fairies in space” paintings “fine art”? No. But they make her heart happy, and she hopes they make you smile too.

Silver loves the art and the mystery of oracle cards, tarot, and all things magickal…pretty much anything published by Llewellyn. She is currently working on art for her own oracle deck.
