Agatha Burstein likes helping, learning, and being a huge fan of amazing people (like the other OZF organizers)! They are mostly upset about the state of the world but draw some semblance of hope from their friends, libraries, cats, and zine world.

Aim Ren Beland (he/they) is a trans visual storyteller recently removed from the Midwest. Formerly he organized the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo, and has spoken about queer representation in comics at C2E2 and Queers & Comics New York. His work has been published in South Side Weekly and Pomegranate Magazine. Aim currently draws all those signs for your favorite nautical themed grocery store.

Melanie Shelton is Olympia’s own Bearded Lady who can now be found teaching & sharing her passion for baking at SPSCC. Melanie is forever excited about all the things! Especially paper crafts, googly eyes and doing it your damn self.

Summer loves all things paper related and can’t get enough vintage office supplies. While she has never made a zine, she is looking to change that this year. She loves to sing, bake and organize. This virgo is a true fit for this year’s OZF Staff.
