Washington Center for the Book Annual State Zine Contest website

The Washington Center for the Book invites Washingtonians of all ages to send us your COVID-19 stories! Our goal is to help preserve and share the experiences of everyday Washingtonians to help us connect and comfort each other now and so that future readers can immerse themselves in our experiences today.

The Zine Archive & Publishing Project (ZAPP) was dedicated to preserving and promoting self-publishing in Seattle and beyond. ZAPP collected more than 30,000 zines, minicomics and other self-published and small press titles, which were donated to us by Richard Hugo House. The collection is for in-Library use only.
