It's a minor point, but I really despise the smug/twee/patronising tone of the voice.

CLASSIFIEDS is a poster-zine featuring the stories of the citizens of Parving, told through twenty unique classified ads taken from The Parving Echo.

Thank you to Alex for designing the finished zine, Lucy for her illustration, Vita for her support and making the marketing material, and all those close to me who have helped me get this to publication.

A lonely man invites strangers to dig. A young woman seeks an actor to play her father in a pivotal conversation. A tutor teaches pigeon domestication for a reasonable price.

I've really enjoyed writing these short fictions. I hope you enjoy reading them. Please let me know what you think and share it with others if you think they'll like it too.

CLASSIFIEDS will be available in TWO WEEKS TIME for free/pay-what-you-want as a digital download, as well as ordering as a physical A4 print for cost of postage (for a limited run).

I'll be releasing a few stories in full here ahead of the full release, so watch this space...

The words are mine, the design is by Alex Wilcox (@sixplanes.bsky.social) and the illustration work is by Lucy Vivaudou (INSTA @lucy.vivaudou).
