About the Magazine

Founded in 2012 | Canada

We are a small magazine/soon-to-be press lead by a genderfluid bisexual white femme eager to lift up other femme voices and do our small part in promoting publishing diversity. What does diversity mean to us? It means that we judge authors based on the merit of their work, and how well their work fits into the Punk Monk ethos. It means we will be open-minded when hearing from perspectives and experiences that differ from our own. It means that we seek inspiration from EVERYWHERE, and we hope our publications reflect this. There is no need to self-identify in your submission. Let your work speak for itself. Established in 2012 as Visceral Uterus Magazine, we housed poetry, flash fiction, and the rare art piece of various genres, before becoming a strictly poetic, strictly feminist zine. Now rebranding as Punk Monk Magazine/soon-to-be Press, we're excited to include poetry, fiction, and non-fiction features, w/ music, comedy, art and more!
