Publishing

I established The Shrieking Violet in August 2009, initially as an alternative guide to Manchester. The print publication grew out of my blog of the same name, which won Best Arts and Culture Blog at the 2011 Manchester Blog Awards (I was also shortlisted in 2009 and 2010).

Between 2009 and 2014, I commissioned cover art by art­ists and illus­tra­tors, and sourced content from writ­ers, journalists, academics, photographers, film-makers and others.

The Shrieking Violet is represented in collections including Sal­ford Zine Library, Rotherham Zine Library, the Working Class Movement Library in Salford, the Special Collections at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford Library.

The Shrieking Violet has been exhibited in Stomach Pump at Islington Mill, Salford (2010), which explored hand-made print culture; at Castlefield Gallery, Manches­ter, as part of the Diagonal Noise exhibition (2016), where it featured alongside a range of art books and mag­a­zines published in Greater Manchester; in Fields of Wheat at the Birley in Preston (July 2017); in Represent! Voices 100 Years On, which showcased 100 years of women’s protests, at the People’s History Museum in Manchester (2018); and in Dining In at the Portico Library, Manchester (2023) alongside an exhibition exploring food cultures in the North West. The Shrieking Violet has been exhibited internationally at Bluestockings in New York (2011) and Zine Show, Ukraine (2013).

The Shrieking Violet has been profiled and interviewed for a range of publications and platforms, from the Chapess zine, Fred Aldous blog and Dostoyevsky Wannabe’s Swimmers’ Club website to the F-Word, Creative Tourist, For Books’ Sake and Blank Pages, as well as Manchester-based radio station All FM. It is featured in the documentaries Self-Publishers of the World Take Over by Craig John Barr (2012) and Zinester by Emily Steele (2016).
