The do-it-yourself literary journal, or “zine,” is the vanguard to revolution, promoting visual and cultural literacy, and creating avenues for resistance, advocacy, and change. Don’t miss Margarat Nee of San Diego’s own Grrrl Zines A-Go-Go for this engaging and important workshop and discussion on zines! Founded in 2002 by Elke Zobl, the all-women Grrrl Zines Network group is based in Southern California and facilitates workshops in campuses and community venues such as Hillcrest LGBT Centre, San Ysidro Public Library, SDSU, Cal Poly SLO, California State San Marcos, Hillcrest Book Faire, Portland Zine Symposium, Mobilivre-Bookmobile, the S/he Collective, and San Diego Indymedia. From their website: "Creating and not just consuming culture, writing, images, and ideas is central to the power of zines. More and more of our activities are mediated and shaped for us, rather than created by us. Making choices is central to developing creative skills. In today’s culture it can feel like we have to consciously separate ourselves from the mainstream in order to have real choices, and zine culture provides a community of other do-it-yourself experimenters to make contact with. Zines also provide a place to practice both individual and collaborative creativity. The skills of each are unique, and our culture does not provide adequate forums to really explore either. Collaboration is a skill that is given short shrift in our hierarchical and competitive society. Zines are one way to practice the give and take that collaboration entails, as you work with others to create a collective expression." Although the group’s aim is to foster the empowerment of young women through the production of fanzines and self-published works, this LAF event is open to participants of any gender identity.
MARGARAT NEE holds an MFA degree from UCSD and has been involved in various community arts projects before joining GZAGG. She published her first zine, OYA: a feminist rag, in the mid 1990s and has since created Dogrrrl and the popular Radical Pet and has collaborated on other zines such as From the Ground Up. In addition to owning her own business, The Art of Dog, Nee is also certified as a Vibrational Sound Therapy Practitioner. Along with SDSU Special Collections archivist and librarian Kim Schwenk, Nee co-directs Girl Zines-a-Go-Go.

Born in Long Island, New York, now local poet Adam Deutsch is the author of the debut full-length collection, Every Transmission (Fernwood Press, 2023) and a chapbook, Carry On: Elegies. His work appears in Poetry International, Thrush, Juked, AMP Magazine, Ping Pong, Typo, Barn Owl Review, Crannog, Pank, and many others.
Every Transmission is about the erosion of our mechanical relationships and the movement to natural forms – our attempts to escape the cycle only help to complete the circuits through which we flow. There are places we create and drive toward, where we rest. And in between is a sky full of electrical storms and ground filling with water and ex-life–the pushing up of faith and wonder for us to climb around on. This book is a non-linear narrative, a collection of moments in lyric that world-build, guided by inhabitable voices.
Diana Marie Delgado, author of Tracing the Horse, praises Every Transmission for its calling attention "to the sensual–and loose–grip that love has on us as we move through our days with joy, growing older but not cynical, observing how 'one cloud that night looked like a baby duck.' With a wife who 'loves him malleably,' Deutsch savors moments clustered around the fire of life. While 'the hurricane razes the dead / cherry blossoms at the property line,' this debut teaches us how to be intimate with the world." Jason Schneiderman, author of Hold Me Tight, characterizes Every Transmission as "a book of interstitial spaces—parking lots, garages, bathrooms, highways, butcher shops–mapping out the circulatory system of human life. Deutsch finds the parts of the world where we think no one sees us, so that he can capture us in poems, before showing us back to ourselves, exactly as we are."
Adam Deutsch received his MA from Hofstra University and his MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is also the publisher of Cooper Dillon Books and teaches here in the Grossmont College English Department, where he co-coordinates the Creative Writing Program.

A native Southern Californian filmmaker and writer Tara Stillions Whitehead is the author of three books, including a hybrid chapbook, Blood Histories (Galileo Press 2021), and two full-length story collections, including her debut collection, The Year of the Monster (Unsolicited Press 2022), and the soon-to-be-released They More Than Burned (forthcoming from ELJ Editions in 2023).
Whitehead is an alumna of University of Southern California’s historic School of Cinematic Arts, then later graduated from San Diego State University’s MFA writing program. After working as a DGA assistant director and then as assistant to the executive producers of two number one prime time television shows, Whitehead left Hollywood to pursue projects that subvert celebrity worship and the dangerous narratives promoted by mainstream American media. She is now an Assistant Professor of Film, Video, and Digital Media Production at Messiah University, where she is also faculty for the renowned Young Writers Workshop, and has given public lectures on monsters, media, and film.
Whitehead's writing has been published in or is forthcoming from various award-winning journals, magazines, and anthologies, including Cream City Review, The Rupture, Fairy Tale Review, Gone Lawn, PRISM international, Chicago Review, Pithead Chapel, Jellyfish Review, and Hobart. Her essay, “The Mother Must Die and Other Lies Fairy Tales Told Me,” published in Fairy Tale Review, was designated as a notable essay in the Best American Essays 2022 anthology, edited by Alexander Chee. Her stories were included in Wigleaf’s Top 50 in both 2021 and 2022, and she has been nominated for Best of the Net, Best Small fictions, the Pushcart Prize, and the AWP Intro Journals Award.

Over his thirty-five-year career, Luczak has authored and edited of over thirty books, including his recent poetry collections, Once Upon a Twin: Poems (Gallaudet U Press 2021) and Chlorophyll (Modern History Press, 2022). His recent nonfiction book releases include A Quiet Foghorn, a follow-up to is critically acclaimed Assembly Required: Notes from a Deaf Gay Life (RID Press 2009). His new novel, Widower, 48, Seeks Husband, is just released this year from Rattling Good Yarns Press.
Raised in Ironwood, a small mining town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Luczak lost most of his hearing as an infant, which went undetected until two years later. Forbidden to sign, he was fitted with a rechargeable hearing aid and lived with foster families in Houghton, Michigan for the next nine years, during which time he began a speech therapy program. Later, while attending Washington, D.C.’s Gallaudet University, he learned American Sign Language (ASL) and discovered Deaf gay culture for the first time.
In 1988, Luczak relocated to New York City, where his writing talents began to cultivate among a vibrant arts and literature community. His memoir essay, "Notes of a Deaf Gay Writer," was accepted as the cover story for Christopher Street, the LGBT community’s then preeminent queer magazine. Later, his novel, Men with Their Hands, earned first place in the 2003 Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation competition for Full-Length Fiction, and thereafter was awarded first prize in the 2006 Project: QueerLit Contest. In 2014, he became one of the first Deaf artists to participate in the Deaf Artists Residency Program at the Anderson Center for Interdisciplinary Arts in Red Wing, Minnesota.
His filmmaking and playwriting accolades include his play, Snooty (A Comedy), which took first place in the New York Deaf Theater's 1990 Samuel Edwards Deaf Playwrights Competition, and, together with his play, Whispers of a Savage Sort, was workshopped at the New American Deaf Play Creators Festival and at the Worldwide and National Deaf Theater Conference. Overall, more than twenty of Luczak's stage plays have been workshopped or produced internationally. His first direct-to-DVD project was the hugely successful Manny ASL: Stories in American Sign Language, featuring the renowned ASL storyteller Manny Hernandez. His full-length documentaries, Guy Wonder: Stories & Artwork (2003), and Nathie: No Hand-Me-Downs (2005), about legendary Austin storyteller Nathie Marbury, are both available on DVD as well. (Luczak has even made an acting appearance on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.)
Raymond Luczak’s memoirs, interviews, essays, and poetry are available in Poetry, BLOOM, TheaterWeek, Art & Understanding, Silent News, The Ragged Edge, The Dramatists Guild Quarterly, Handwave, Deaf Arts UK, Out, The Tactile Mind, Typo Magazine, Wordgathering, Poetry, Crab Orchard Review, The Brooklyn Review, Pegasus, The Hazmat Review, and many, many others. His work is also widely anthologized in disability-lit and queer collections, including Beauty Is a Verb (Cinco Puntos Press), The Deaf Way II Anthology (Gallaudet University Press), and Best Gay Short Stories 2008 (Lethe Press). Luczak has also edited a variety of queer and disability related anthologies and journals of his own, including Lovejets: Queer Male Poets on 200 Years of Walt Whitman (Squares & Rebels, 2019), Jonathan: A Journal of Gay Fiction (Sibling Rivalry Press), and his current project, Mollyhouse (Squares & Rebels), a journal for queer, disabled, and neurodivergent writers.
Luczak now lives in Minneapolis.
