Founded in Dublin by

• Steven Maybury

• Áine Belton

• Alex Counihan

• Eileen O’Neill

• Jessica Maybury (me).

Browse through the gallery of zines and events down below - a lot happened in those years! If anything catches your eye, contact me and I’ll see if I still have a copy to send you. Read an interview I did about it here on Writing.ie.

“We like writing. We like art. We love micro-fiction, poetry, mixed media visuals, audio recordings, flash fiction, poetry – all kinds! Even EVEN concrete poetry! – painting, drawing, illustration, photography, footnotes, and typographically-based design.

Imperfect is good, loose lines are good, tight writing is good, your willingness to allow us to reformat your work with an eye to typographic design is excellent.”
