EST. 2013
BROWN RECLUSE is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit zine distro of self-published zines of political education for and by Queer and Trans Black Indigenous and People of Color. Brown Recluse was established in 2013 as a direct response to the lack of support in the zine community for non-white creators. 

We offer Black zinemakers 100% of the cover price to distribute their work

BRZD has operated out of Coast Salish and Ohlone Lands.

BROWN RECLUSE is a 
COLLECTIVELY RUN ZINE DISTRO
FOR BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR.  

*Kindly Note:
BROWN RECLUSE is
not a print-service,

The project was originally founded by a zine maker and blossomed into a collective project in 2015, as the work has always been communal and non-hierarchal. 

For 10 years, the Brown Recluse collective has toured to table at zine events, work-shops, readings, and festivals across Turtle Island,   and has connected zine makers of color to one another across the country + the world.
