FROOT PUNCH 3

Froot Punch 3 is the third edition of our yearly submission based magazine featuring queer artists from Midwest America. This issue came out in October of 2025 and is the largest issue yet, over 35 artists, poets and creatives have work featured in the zine.

Why Froot Punch? Zines were historically made by queer and alternative communities in opposition to traditionally published media, and in the current state of the world they are needed more than ever. When our rights are stolen from under us by forces that we cannot control, the only people we have is our community.

The froots punch back!

Check out the work, read poems, and find all of your favorite frooty submitters down below!

If you would like to support MP and local queer zines, consider picking yourself up a physical copy in the MP shop.

Thanks for reading!

Printed and Published in Saint Louis, MO by us, Melon Press! Work submitted to Froot Punch comes from all across the Midwest, from Minnesota to Missouri, Ohio to Nebraska.

All work is printed in Sunflower Yellow, Cornflower Blue, Lake Blue, and Black.
