An (extremely) online lit mag & a literal vending machine, Zine Machine is here to insist upon the resourceful, ingenious, subversive, historically crucial, somehow-more-relevant-than-ever art of zine making.

Zine Machine was dreamed up by poet & handyman Kristen Renee Miller, who finally found a way to combine her love of micro-writing, mixed media, & mechanics.

Zine Machine (the mag) features ~5 zine artists quarterly in our online publication.

Zine Machine™ (the machine/s) can be found at bookstores, art galleries, festivals, and more in the Upper South & beyond. Sign up to hear about pop-ups and other live events!

All Zine Machine zines are created by real (paid!) human artists and lovingly hand folded by your Zine Machine team. We will never outsource our creativity to AI and we promise to fight the robots till the end!
