DEAR DIARY ZINE FEST aims to celebrate the healing and transformative power of telling our stories through perzines. In 2018, we created the first ever perzine fest out of necessity. Many of the zine fests we attended were slowly becoming arts and craft fairs with little to no perzines in sight, so we decided to create a different kind of fest. We want to uplift marginalized groups, first time and long time zine makers. Let it all out and share it with us!
