Erin Fae
Erin Fae (b. 1981) is a New Zealand-based U.S. zinester, who has been involved in zines since the late 1990s.
From Sept 2010 to March 2014, she lived in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and now divides her time between there and Brooklyn, New York.
Zines
Fae's longest running zine is a feminist art and perzine called Imaginary Windows. She is also the creator of Mess of a Dreamer: A Taylor Swift Fanzine. Other zines include Drawn Across, Sow/Sew, Ribbon & Ink, Twine & Postage, and Auckland, I Will Miss You.
From 2011-2013, she ran Alphabet City, a community art space in Auckland, New Zealand devoted to the printed and written word. It also was/is home to the largest zine library in New Zealand.
Zine-o-Mat project
Fae is the originator and curator of the Zine-o-Mat (vending machine), currently located in the Auckland Central City Library in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa (New Zealand).
The vending machine dispenses mini / small zines made by local, Kiwi zinesters, prioritising those made by marginalised, queer and POC voices. Its goal is to make self-publishing more accessible. As such, each zines costs just NZ$2.
Submission guidelines for the Zine-o-Mat can be found on Fae's website.
