THE PEOPLE WE INVENTED FIRST

Contributors

Transparency: the names below are fictional launch contributors used to populate Broken Zine while the publication is being built. They are not presented as real people.

Elena Marsh

Short fiction about memory, cheap architecture, missed connections, and objects that refuse to stay lost.

Jordan Kell

Poems about cities, weather, bad luck, and the strange persistence of ordinary people.

Malik Rivers

Flash, fragments, lists, and other small forms with sharp edges.

Tessa Wu

Essays and dispatches about public space, work, subcultures, and the quiet education of being overlooked.

Casey Ruiz

Comics, collage, drawings, and visual work about damaged systems and small acts of refusal.

Mara Venn

Satirical reports from institutions that probably should not exist and meetings that definitely should have been emails.

LAUNCH ISSUE

These bylines are placeholders with personalities.

As real work is accepted, real contributor profiles replace this launch roster.
