FEM STARTED as an ANNUAL SUBMISSION-BASED ZINE IN 2017, WELCOMING WORK from UNDERREPRESENTED and largely unpublished ARTISTS.
WE PUBLISHED OUR FIRST BOOK by the poetry collective 4 brown girls who write IN 2018, and STARTED HOSTING EVENTS THE SAME YEAR, FEATURING PERFORMERS of ALL DISCIPLINES.
SINCE THEN, WE HAVE FOCUSSED on SPECIAL-TOPIC ZINES, STILL CHAMPIONING NEW VOICES but also WORKING WITH ESTABLISHED QUEER CREATIVES, and SUPPORTING THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN IN OUR NETWORK from THE START.
WE SELL OUR ZINES ONLINE, in INDIE BOOKSHOPS and at ZINE FAIRS: ANY and ALL PROFITS GO INTO MAKING MORE WORK.
