I have been making zines for nine years. I was drawn to them as a great medium to share lesser heard stories. I loved visiting Salford Zine Library (when it was at Nexus!) and reading a whole load of different ones.

As someone who lived with illness, zines felt like a great way to share experiences collectively. They’re DIY and independent, not bound by traditional publishing rules.

In addition to Drawn Poorly, I’ve loved working with different organisations and groups on their own zines. Acting as a facilitator, project manager or bringing all of their work together in a collection.
