I create zines with my collaborator Jane Leibrock (and sometimes solo!) under our Content Queen label. Our zines are sold in the Bay Area, a couple of other cities, and online, and we’ve spoken and taught workshops about zinemaking as a form of self-expression, collaboration, and social engagement.

Read much more about all of it at www.contentqueenzine.com.

And here’s Content Queen’s zines, in chronological order:

Content Queen Issue 1

And so, it began. Inspired by wanting a magazine that’s purely “What’s in my bag”-style filler schlock, Jane and I created Content Queen (now an extremely popular publishing house) in early 2019 to give the people what they want: more idle content.

Check out an iconic New Yorker-inspired cover by Branson Reese and layouts (and words) in the style of YM, Jane, Vice, Goop, Bon Apetit’s not-quite-notable masthead, and then some.

Content Queen Issue 2

With a cover reminiscent of our past as Delias (sorry, dELiA*S) models, Issue 2 features art by Jesse Rimler and columns in the style of Vice, Goop, Mad, Highlights, Jane and more.

As Per My Last DM

What happens when you DM suggestions to “branded content” to a crumbling millennial institution for a year? If the institution is The Wing, they…don’t respond. And you make a zine about it.

  • Content Queen Issue 3

    In which the co-editresses of CQ check our privilege and honor our male readers with a Guys Issue. Featuring a cover by man Tim Belonax and a guest column by man Eric Marshall and work in the style of Cosmopolitan, N+1, and, as always, Highlights.

  • Content Queen Issue 4

    This issue is all about interns, and the potent, ever-ideating creatives who are tasked to manage them. Work in the style of Harper’s, The Onion, and everything in between (i.e. Highlights).

  • Memories of Fat Camp

    A memoir zine about two summers at weight loss camps and what they did (and have done) to me, with loving participation and interviews about body image with my family.

  • Who BARTed?

    A year in the making: Our magnum opus, on its second printing. A zine that asks the question: “Is BART a metaphor for the Bay Area, or is it just a train?” Featuring writing, comics, memoirs, songs and more by artists and children of the Bay Area.

  • 23 Stories of a Young Phil Jackson

    Personal speculative historical erotic fanfiction? Pass me the damn ball.

  • The Oakland Museum of Nail Art

    Two Oakland nail artists, Laurel Maha (@pizzaperfectnails) and Masako Beck (@atomicowl), cover my tiny fingernails with tributes to famous artists and artworks. For anyone who loves staring at miniatures, going to the MOMA, or wondering if gel treatments can damage their nails (it can’t).
