I make zines to explore the intersections of witchcraft, personal experience, and cultural critique, often through storytelling, reflection, and experimentation. These zines have been sold online, at Canzine, and Witchfest North. They have received reviews in and promotion by Broken Pencil Magazine as well as the blog Fever Broke.

Coming Soon: 
Three Little Witches Second Edition, set to release December 2025
Sweetheart and the Sugartooth Tigers, set to release in early 2026

Three Little Witches

This was the first draft of my story later published in Demeter Press's Gone Feral: Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity. Copies were sold at Canzine Toronto October 2023.

Strega: An Autoethnography

This zine is my Master's Major Research Project. It looks at witchcraft as resistance and healing, using the maiden, mother, crone lens I apply to my relationships with matriarchs who have passed. Copies have been sold at Canzine Toronto 2017, 2018, and 2022 as well as at Witchfest North 2017.

Broken Arts: Now or Never

Spring 2012

Wrote a profile on the Broken Arts

There’s nothing misfit about the opinions of a 20-something single parent on things that matter. Then again, Di Menna probably knows this and is just waiting for the masses to catch on.

- Nicole Morales, Review of Misfit Matriarch in Broken Pencil, Issue 59

Strega: An Autoethnography is a 60-page, black-and-white perzine. The zine discusses using witchcraft as resistance while also acting as a love letter to the matriarchs in Di Menna’s life, who she uses to construct a Maiden-Mother-Crone narrative. It is a literary zine that includes family photos, silly doodles, and quotes from some lovely witches who took the time to share their magick.

I've worked with Hillary in multiple volunteer capacities through my not-for-profit arts group Broken Arts as well as with a writers’ collective in which we were both members. She has shown herself to be consistently reliable, dedicated, and enthusiastic. She does not take a project along unless she is fully committed and, if so, does not deliver less than her best effort.

'Misfit Matriarch" seems to be a perzine about being a young punk mom. The author's kid was there, and asked repeatedly if I "had 2 dollars" which was incredibly cute and sold the zine. I love the idea that she was prescreening the browsers, basically if you didn't have the 2 bucks, move on Clyde.
