Skear Zines responds to the writers we work with. It aims to resist homogenisation, and celebrate querenesse. It wants to give space to those voices that might not fit into traditional publishing models, voices that have been sidelined or as yet unheard, voices that have small (yet big) things to say, voices that will sing in unconventional forms.
Skear Zines publish 3 zines per year. They contain prose and poetry, fiction and memoir, narrative and non-consecutive sequences, short or longer pieces sometimes combined with artworks such as linocut or watercolour.
All the zines are made from paper that uses recycled coffee cups – each zine has half a cup in them. Each zine is folded from a single A3 sheet. No glue, no stitches. Only cuts are used to create a variety of folding and unfolding forms that ask the reader to reappraise how they come to the work, or how the work comes to them.
