I’ll be hosting a zine workshop at the 2025 SEQ Queer Writers Festival this year on Saturday 15 November! 🥳🎉🌈

This workshop will give participants an understanding of zines and zine culture, as well as the tools they need to start working on a small zine on a topic of their choice.

It’s about the blooming obsession of new queer love, the soft touch of petal fingertips, the all-consuming refrain of spring 🌸🌼💖🌈

Curated by Netherworld denizens Tim Sifontes-Holzberger and Mitch Wilkins, the third-issue’s theme is ‘Expo 2088.’
