Micheal Wiggan /0.08 Imprints
0.08 works with a range of emerging photographers from around the world. We design and publish projects that utilise the camera as a tool for investigation, primarily studying relationships and habits that form around ourselves, others and places. Our mission is to be an accessible platform for photographers with any amount of experience to be able to submit and share work that is aesthetically conscientious, meaningful and curious.

Her debut poetry book (un)interrupted tongues, published by Fly on The Wall Press, emerged from a zine she created during her masters dissertation about the therapeutic and healing powers of zine-making. She loves making zines, botanical journals, is an allotment keeper and loves roaming the Peak District in her tiny campervan. She’s currently working on an archival justice commission with Dig Where You Stand, Sheffield and is Peaks of Colour 2024 Writer-in-residence where zines, therapeutic writing and nature will be mashed up into something gorgeous.She lives in Sheffield.

Sharp Txngue (she/her)
I am Olamide Florence Adeoye (Sharp Txngue), a queer, neurodivergent illustrator, comic artist and storyteller based in Manchester, UK. My illustration practice is inspired in part by my love of cartoons, graphic novels and sitcoms, where the makers create visual hyperbole building upon moments from everyday life like I do in my stories. I have 2 comic zines about my cat – Midas and the Post-Breakfast Panic (2022) and Midas and the Insatiable Appetite (2023) – and will be releasing my first longer comic, Snacks in November 2023.My stories centre and portray Black, queer and neurodivergent lives by showing the fun and silliness that exists like in my comic zines and the deep ways in which we – people who are often marginalised in society – connect and build lives around one another.

It wants to give space to those voices that might not fit into traditional publishing models, voices that have been sidelined or as yet unheard, voices that have small (yet big) things to say, voices that will sing in unconventional forms.
