ABOUT

a warm home for the writing that burns, roars and is aflame with emotion.

Tigers Zine is a literary journal for API (Asian and Pacific Islanders) creatives and/or APIs who identify with the term diaspora.We aim to share artwork, poetry, prose and more from a marginalised audience for a marginalised audience to celebrate our work. We are interested in works that intersect beauty with darkness; works that bind diaspora with heritage; works that thrums in the heart and is unique.But we also accept work that is about the ordinary and the eccentric and the weird and the erotica. Our lit journal just aims to share your work as an API creative.(Please note that we exist on the political left and some of our work will reflect that.)(Any work that promotes bigotry or is discriminating of any kind will immediately be taken down and reported.)(Any person who is discovered or reported to be appropriating other cultures or pretending to be an Asian or Pacific Islander will immediately be banned from submitting to us in the future and will be reported to other journals. Any work they have accepted with us will also be taken down. We take all complaints like these incredibly seriously.)STAFFIndigo Carter
Editor-in-Chief
Indigo Carter (they/he) is a multimedia creative whose work aims to cross the haunting with the beautiful. Their work has appeared in Violet, Indigo, Blue, Etc, celestite poetry and Moon Cola Zine.
