Entropy is a small magazine I created. For the first volume, I focused on the transition from teenage years to early 20s. It featured 20 contributors who submitted work reflecting on said topic, sharing their perspectives and the navigation of self during this crucial period of discovery. Here's a short blurb more about the theme:
Entropy: Lack of Order. Displacement, losing, finding, learning, thinking, claiming, creating, coming into your own, still finding it, give me a moment, better yet, a few years, or erase the few before now. It all seemed to blend together.
Processing the now, this moment right now, can be compared to the sporadic cycle of R.E.M. We fall under its spell each night, and the visions we produce influence, evoke, and seek out the manifestations that follow in our waking world. It's quiet again in my mind because I carefully extracted my inner workings and hand-painted them onto the pages of this book. Mustering up the words together to express adolescence - a beautiful and tormenting phenomenon.from an array of youth creatives. The 20 contributors submitted work reflecting on said topic, sharing their perspectives and the navigation of self during this crucial period of discovery.
Now, I'm starting on volume 2 of Entropy and want to focus on balance.
How do you balance your 20s? Over-indulgence and consumption is all we are exposed to, especially in the city. I'm looking for new faces to be featured, interviewed, and involved! Feedback during this time is also very appreciated. Thank you for reading and please reach out via my website (email on homepage): jennaferayo.com

Everything is embarrassing anyways so just submit your writing somewhere people can maybe see it. This is my little horror vignette about a demonic possession in a Connecticut gas station! It's not at all perfect in my eyes, but it's also one of my favorite things I've done because it lives in the world and not just in a draft. And as a bonus I get to enjoy the design a cool editor invented to accompany my story and see it through their eyes on the page.
I love zines!!! Share your art with your community and scene, be a part of the world!!!

It takes me a long time to get round to writing anything but I've got another draft in the works which is about the weird emptiness and ecstasy of summer which will be out sooooon. Btw this ask finally got me to name this newsletter because I've had this phrase circling in my head all weekend and I think it's a perfect fit

This was a fun one it was a little touchy trying to write about my experiences without being salacious and I donβt think my mom is going to like reading it but I hope you enjoy π«Ά

Firstly, Printed Matter duh. I love it there, it truly is a hub of cultural phenomenons and information on everything and anything you can find in book-form. I also checked out Climax recently since they opened their East Village location. SOOOOO cute. very small, but amazing amazing selection. Dashwood is a classic. Miwa has my heart, shoutout her. Mast is cool but they give a little too pretentious for my liking. I still go in every time I pass it though. Karma is sick, has a really cool collection of Purple's first volumes and such. But I'm looking for more shops, lmk where I should gooooo!
