It’s here! ☀️ ‘Small Kindnesses’, our very first Mini Magpie zine, is now available to buy online.

Pick up this pocket-sized poetry anthology on our website, or catch us at some open mics over the next few months to grab your copy in person.

We don’t think we’re alone in craving glimmers of hope right now, so for our first zine, we asked poets and flash fiction writers to send us short pieces of work that respond to Danusha Laméris’ ‘Small Kindnesses’.

The result is 16 illustrated poems by 13 talented writers, all reflecting on what kindness means to them.

Keep your eyes peeled for future events, updates and submission windows.

Spring is soon returning, and so are we. 🌱

Be kind to each other.

Mini Magpie Zine #1 releases next month! 🥰
In the run up to the new year, we will be sharing a couple of illustrated poems from Small Kindnesses and attempt to offer some glimpses of hope after the 2025 whirlwind of media-numbed genocide, far-right tomfoolery, climbing costs of living and the looming, all-consuming AI slop apocalypse.
Everyone could use some kindness right now. Keep an eye out – it’s all around you!

‘In this shockingly experimental memoir, Machado uses the fragmented form like she invented it. We find ourselves in a psychological horror, a romance, an essay on q***r Disney Villains, a starkly fourth-wall-breaking choose-your-own-adventure, where our narrator berates us for defying her laws; we find ourselves in Bluebeard’s lair, then a bowling alley, then a palace, then a tropey slasher movie, creeping over Machado’s shoulder into a spider-laced basement, breath catching like a hook in our throat. We know that a monster is waiting for us; she tells us so constantly, explicitly, and we still reel with surprise when she flashes her claws.’

New blog post up! Head over to the link in our bio to read the full review of ‘s gorgeous memoir 🤩

We’re launching our Mini Magpie zine series! 🎉

Fancy joining in?

Our first zine, ‘Small Kindnesses’ is inspired by the gorgeous Danusha Laméris poem of the same title. We recommend giving it a Google before submitting 😁

For this issue, we’re stitching your writing together to create a community zine 🖊️

Do you have examples of small kindnesses? What does kindness mean to you?

Please limit prose to 100 words and poetry to 14 lines. Haikus, single lines and single sentence submissions are all encouraged.

Your name will be listed as a contributor at the back of the zine or beside your work, where relevant.

You don’t need to be a writer to submit. You just need kindness to share 🤍

Send your writing to [email protected] alongside your full name and any information you deem relevant to your submission.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]

We close for submissions on the 24th August 2025, so get them in while you still can! 🫡

We look forward to reading!
