Kate (she/her) and Imogen (she/her) from Ergi Press will be talking about their experiences in setting up a publishing house and making and distributing their regular zine. The evening will be split into a talk and then an informal, guided zine-making session where everyone will be welcomed to write, draw and create a mini zine themselves. A cosy and casual evening, perfect for students new to York and those hoping to explore the York queer community.

Ergi Press are a publishing house founded in 2021 by York St John Publishing MA students. The press focuses on promoting and uplifting work by LGBTQ+ writers and artists, providing a space to spotlight this work without barriers of themes or publishing history. Their regular zine has a rolling submissions window, welcoming prose, poetry and artwork. Their upcoming debut anthology, Trickster, is set for publication by the end of 2022.
