A record, kept.
A place, a practice, or a decision, documented to be cited rather than scrolled. The archive is where the house accounts for its own holdings.

We publish in issues, not in days.
ZINEHQ is an independent publishing house operating a numbered archive. Each title is a complete booklet — an archive, a dossier, or a playbook — commissioned, edited, and filed as a discrete unit rather than published as a dated post.

01 / The cabinet
Three titles on the shelf.
Numbered, dated, and complete. Each issue is a standalone booklet rather than a post; the archive itself is the publication.
The First Print
Every archive begins with a number, a date, and the decision to keep the thing.
24 pp. · 13 min Read the issue
The Cost of a First Edition
A 32-page edition, 150 copies, priced honestly. Where the money goes before anyone buys a copy.
28 pp. · 14 min Read the issue
Tabling Without Losing Money
A one-day fair is a small business. Run it like one, and you can afford to come back.

02 / The format
Three ways to publish a thing properly.
The series structure is fixed; the subject matter is not. A dossier may address print economics, a playbook may address fair operations, and an archive may document why the collection is maintained.
One question, opened.
A single subject examined through figures, sources, and a repeatable method. Evidence takes precedence over opinion.
001 filedA procedure that holds.
A procedure tested against an actual table, an actual deadline, and an actual budget. Written for use rather than for display.
001 filed03 / From the desk
A publication should survive a quiet month.
Most editorial projects fail on scheduling, not on quality.
A feed penalises silence; an archive does not. Three completed titles carry more value than thirty unfinished posts, and a numbered issue remains citable long after its publication week.
ZINEHQ is structured as a shelf rather than a stream: a collection of short, complete works that can be read in an afternoon and cited a year later. The next issue is released when it meets the standard for filing.

04 / The dispatch
One letter when an issue is filed.
No weekly digest and no growth updates. A short notice is sent when a title is filed, together with occasional corrections.
The domain and this edition are available for acquisition. The archive remains publicly readable regardless of the outcome.
