about

misha (they/them) is a zinester and poet from Belgium, located in Dendermonde and Ghent.

i started birdbeakbeast press in 2017 as a way to explore radical kindness and queer feminism, and to centre voices that are often pushed to the sides. birdbeakbeast press is an experiment in thoughts and actions of how to make community-based knowledge and creativity accessible.

birdbeakbeast press creates output on paper in the form of poetry zines, collaborative zines, and informational zines.
other offerings include the tadpod, a podcast where i read queer fiction, and embroideries on a variety of objects.
i also create workshops on soft skills in community building, zine-making, and story-telling.

financial disclosure

birdbeakbeast press is a passion project that i finance 100% from my day job, zine sales, and paid performances and workshops. i do not rely on funds or advertisement to finance these zines.

while i would very much like to compensate every contributor for their emotional and intellectual labour, i am not in a position to do this sustainably so :( if this prevents you from collaborating with birdbeakbeast press, please contact me and we will look for ways in which you can be compensated for your work.

you can support birdbeakbeast press by purchasing the zines, booking a paid performance or workshop, by becoming a Patreon, or by sending us a donation through PayPal.
thank you for your support!
