Wait, what is a zine?

A zine is a self-published booklet that showcases personal, artistic, or niche content like collage, illustrations, or poetry. I make mini zines, often A7 or A8, which are compact versions made from a single folded sheet of paper. These small, handmade publications provide an intimate way to share art, ideas, and stories, embodying a DIY spirit that’s popular among artists, writers, and creators seeking creative freedom.

What sizes do your zines come in?

I print my zines on standard size A4 paper (210 x 297 mm), which means that when folded, most of my zines are A7 sized (74 x 105mm), but a select few come in a cute lil A8 size (52 x 74mm). You'll definitely be getting the perfect size for sticking in jacket pockets or using as a bookmark. Each listing specifies the size in the description, so you can be sure what you’re getting!

How are the zines packaged?

I carefully hand-fold and neatly package each zine using everyday materials to keep costs low for both of us, staying true to the DIY spirit of zine-making. While simple, the packaging is designed to keep your zine safe on its way to you, and I will always include a photo of this in the dispatch notification so you can rest assured it's on its way as protected as possible. As my shop grows, I’m working toward adding more substantial, eco-friendly, branded options!

What should I do if my zine arrives damaged?

I handle each order with care, but once it has been dispatched to Royal Mail for delivery, how packages are handled within the postal service is unfortunately beyond my control. If your zine arrives damaged, I'm so sorry this has happened, it's as frustrating for me as it is for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly to arrange a return, exchange, replacement, or refund – whichever you feel is most convenient for you.

Do you offer your zines wholesale?

In short, yes! I'm proud to share that my zines are already part of many libraries, shops, and distros around the UK, and I'm always interested in expanding further. If you’re a stockist or interested in a bulk purchase, please contact me directly to discuss details and arrangements, I’d love to learn more and work together.

Do you ship zines internationally?

Yes, I've shipped zines to a number of places outside of the UK, including the USA, Belgium, South Korea, and beyond. I'm always positively baffled and super excited when my zines head further afield, so if you live outside the UK but would like to arrange shipping of one or more of my zines, please contact me directly to make this happen. I'll walk you through the different shipping options and pricing tiers based on Royal Mail's up-to-date offering, ensuring to include links for transparency and reference.

A lovely art zine, an illustrated philosophical poem to treasure in the hand. "There it is that hue of hope A distant blue to wake the soul..." Beautiful, thank you! And thanks for 'Find Her' -love it and couldn't agree more!
