|
Fresh crop of zines incoming!! Join us on Wednesday Nov 29th at 7pm GMT for the online launch of three Skear Zines for 2023 - by Bean Sawyer, Geeta Roopnarine and Elena Sirett.
This year is all about imagined futures, our animal forms, and five hearts beating in a row - it's thrumming with life, and a whole new exploration of what's possible within the container of a zine. Get yourself a free ticket here.

about
I'm a UK-based writer and one third of the Skear Zines editorial trio. I've performed at many festivals and live events across the UK and beyond, solo and in collaboration with other writers, musicians and visual/digital artists. My stories have featured on BBC Radio 4 and in Short Fiction Journal, among other places, with poetry appearing in numerous anthologies and magazines. My collection of short stories about the messy overlap of aid work and war (Jebel Marra, Comma Press 2015) was described by the Guardian as 'muscular', and 'exceptional' by the Irish Times. My novella exploring Manchester's housing crisis will be out with Comma Press in 2024, supported by the Society of Authors. I recently created and edited the TransBareAll anthology of trans writers and artists, as well as the accompanying podcast of the same name. My zine Knuckle Pushups is out now.
