About: Wasted Ink Zine Distro (WIZD) is a small-press distribution center, storefront, and library that houses local and international zines. WIZD represents over 250 artists and provides a hub for creativity and community impact. WIZD contains an on-site zine library with over 700 titles to read through to gain inspiration and understanding. WIZD hosts and supports over 50 zine and literary events each year ranging from zine workshops to the Phoenix Zine Fest.

Wasted Ink Zine Distro is a community event space run solely by a passionate queer, disabled zinester named Charissa Lucille and a great community. In addition to curating and maintaining this collection, we also host a number of literary events including zine-making workshops, zine release parties, and rotating art shows.

Wasted Ink Zine Distro provides people with alternative forms of media with publications about a myriad of different topics ranging from, educational and woman’s studies, personal and political activism, music and punk history, photography, art, and more. WIZD is constantly growing and expanding and receiving more material every week.
