I started self-publishing zines in 2024.
A Greenhouse Far From Nice is part of my Dreamstory Project. I’ve been writing down my dreams since 2010. I started trying to make short stories out of the dreams that stuck around. This short story is based on a dream I had July 21, 2015. A young woman comes home for the holidays to her mother and her childhood imaginary friend. Her imaginary friend has, in the time she's been gone, started growing improbable plants.
HD Recommends is a collection of short essays and some poems inspired by movies, art, podcasts, or writers. This edition (published March 2025) includes:
reading Doc by Mary Doria Russell
Update on Richard Siken
after watching The Legend of 1900 (1998)
Confident in Classics
on the death of Mary Oliver, after reading Our World
Fever Music
When I send straight people queer things
I often get consumed by a question and I want to know the answer. I go researching. In this zine, I got too curious about Birthstones. This short guide goes into the origins of the concept of birthstones, the traditional and modern/updated birthstone list, and a lot of rock facts about each birthstone.
I fold one-page zines into booklets of collected quotes from various sources/authors, or extremely short essays. Most of these are hand-written with my own illustrations. The small zines currently available:
Proxemics
The things I know about fragrance fill a very small zine
Ephemeral Poly Thoughts
QUOTES to reflect and to connect, but mostly to forgive
To order any of the zines listed above, please send an email to hannahdaveycreates@protonmail.com.
List the zines you would like to order and please include your shipping address. I will get back to you on shipping price.
Each larger zine is minimum $5 and each one-page zine is minimum $3. I accept Venmo or Paypal. If there's enough interest (or I lose my dayjob), I'll look into getting a storefront to make it easier to order things.
If you live in Portland, OR, U.S.A., you can pick up copies of my zines from Second Shapes Bookstore in North Portland's Kenton neighborhood. Saves you shipping and supports local businesses!
