These are the zines I've made.

You can buy them by contacting me, and it's worth asking even if there are none left in stock right now - I might be able to print more easily.

You Are In A Time.jpg You Are In A Time

A6, 24 pages including cover, stitch-bound.

You live in a world where everyone has become accustomed to random collective time-jumps. Only one’s consciousness moves in time, and everyone’s consciousness travels at the same moment to the same time. Time overall moves forward. The only thing that’s certain is you will live every moment, though you don’t know in what order.

Autistic Dictionary.jpg An Autistic Dictionary

A5, 12 pages, stitch-bound.

These words and their definitions were submitted by autistic people of various ages, genders and nationalities, in four different languages.

They are the words we love, the words that please our minds and our echolalias. They may not actually make sense. But we love them anyway. They’re funny, they’re beautiful, they taste good, and sometimes they describe a very specific thing that you can’t express any other way.

Zine materials and packaging

Where possible I do my best to think low-impact when making and posting zines.

  • Zines are printed on 100% recycled paper, which is usually 120gsm for durability and quality.
  • Most zines are stitch-bound, partly because staplers hate me, but also because:
    • metal isn't renewable;
    • cotton is renewable;
    • I'm working through a huge cotton stash;
    • when recycling a zine, staples are harder to remove than cotton thread;
    • even if the "cotton" is polyester, it is recyclable in fabric recycling bins.
  • My home (and therefore my printer) is powered by renewable electricity (Good Energy).
  • Zines are wrapped with repurposed card to prevent damage in the post.
  • Zines are wrapped in compostable plastic wrap that can be composted at home.
  • Zines are posted in a reused envelope, or if none are available, a recycled envelope.
  • Envelopes and parcels are sealed with gum if new or with paper packing tape if reused.
