Messy Misfits Club
WELCOME TO THE MESSY MISFITS CLUB
This zine started as a dream shared between two people.
In December of 2021 amidst the snowy Chicago winter, Flower (fae/faer) and Riley (she/her) imagined a publication dedicated to the messiness of real queer lives. Topics like sex, queer intimacy and culture, religion, and grappling with identity are all things we're interested in sharing, uncensored.
It only took a month for this pair to become a trio when Emma (they/them) joined the editorial team! With their previous experience in writing and publishing, it finally brought the team to a place where they felt ready to start the first volume --- "Queer Love".
Ever since, the team has grown, more volumes have been published, and our community continues to grow as we rely on each other's support. The Misfits have since moved part of their operation to Madison, WI, where zines will be sold and events will be held in addition to Chicago, IL.
What's New With Us
We are currently selling at five different wholesalers including locations in Chicago, IL and Madison, WI and Seattle, WA!
