Hi there! Pen Fight is a one-woman ran queer feminist zine distro and tiny press based in Manchester, UK. Independently run since 2015, selling zines, radical books, badges, and other DIY and small-run art and craft.
We also operate a tiny press, printing zine titles mostly by women, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ folks.
I have a question about ordering from you.
Please see the Ordering FAQ page

What’s a zine?
A zine (pronounced like maga-zine) is a self-made printed publication, often made cheaply, usually photocopied – but other printing methods can be used. They can be about anything, from politics to art to your favourite tv show. They can be hand made one-offs or printed in their hundreds. People can hand draw and copy and paste them, use a computer, or both, or anything in-between. Even if you’ve never heard of them before, you’ve probably seen one and just didn’t know they had a special name. Anyone can make one, including you.
