Messy Misfits Club was an idea developed in late 2021. We knew the queer community needed more realistic representation, which is how this all started.

Messy Misfits Club zine is looking for stories with out of bounds content– We want to be raw, rebellious and let our voices be heard. The Messy Misfits are meant to be downright dirty!

Messy Misfits Club wants you to meet the team behind the zine. Flower and Emma are both creative powerhouses dedicating their abilities to uplifting the voices of marginalized and typically censored groups. Flower chooses to remain anonymous at this time, but is a major part of our team and deserves just as much recognition for her effort and passion toward this zine! Baby & Helen all joined the team later on in hopes to continue improving the zine and the message behind it.

We accept submissions from everyone but Queer & Trans voices are prioritized!

"Shrouded in shadow and crawling with vines stood a prison erected from resentment. In such depths, I became a shadow; I disappeared, and no one noticed. I knew that was what I needed to survive."
