The readers for the event, who all will be sharing work on the theme of friendship, are Heather Anacker, Nichole Bael, Julie Halpern & Liz Mason, Jessie Lynn McMains, Lynne Monsoon, Red Schulte, and Alisha Walker. The evening’s moderator will be MWPZF founder Jonas.This event is free!

Poster designed by our Cartoonist-in-Residence Caroline Cash.

Image Description: Below is a poster in comic book style and muted gray. At the top half In bright pink letters it reads Midwest Perzine Festival. An illustration of a person with short hair in gray scale shouts the date illuminated by white dialogue bubbles: "April 8th, 7:30pm CST, Free" The bottom of the poster features and illustration of two people (one brown with short hair and animated eyebrows and one white with black wavy hair and glasses) sharing a book and excitedly saying in white dialogue bubbles "Moderated by Jonas" and "Live on the Midwest Perzine YouTube Channel." Along the bottom of the poster in author style with smaller black slanted letters reads the name of all the features also listed above.
