Zinequest 2021

Zinequest is once again upon us, and so I’m resurrecting the blog. For ease of reference I’ll be tracking all Zinequest projects and updating this page daily. Please use backer and funding numbers as guides rather than current figures as I won’t be updating throughout the day. For comparison all values are in USD and all end dates are listed in US formatting. Please note there will likely be slight changes to currency conversions over time. PDF will include digital stretch goals where available. There may be less expensive tiers for hardship levels as well. Print will be for Print+PDF when applicable, and in cases where multiple zines are offered I only include the price for every zine. Completed projects section added to the bottom. Information will be updated as I get it. If you’re a creator and you don’t see your project please comment below or message me at pandatheist on twitter and I’ll update as soon as I can. Suggestions welcome. I hope you all find this useful!
