Questions on my mind

Zines from Gaza is a publishing initiative by Coastal Lines Press, a collective of writers living under siege and genocide in Gaza.
Through donation-based access and grassroots distribution, their words are
traveling the world—funding essential aid and amplifying Palestinian voices.

Dima Maher Ashour is a literature student and proud to have studied under Dr. Refaat Alareer,
whose guidance and vision continue to inspire her. She is passionate about passing words into
the world. Dima’s writings have appeared in We Are Not Numbers and The Electronic Intifada.

Coastal Lines Press is a collective of writers in Gaza turning words into life-saving support for their families. Through the Zines from Gaza initiative, they create and distribute small booklets of poetry, essays, and testimonies that carry stories of survival, resistance, and hope. Each zine is available worldwide thanks to volunteers and solidarity networks. 100% of profits go directly to the authors, offering critical aid during the ongoing siege and genocide in Gaza. Our name honors the coastline of Gaza and the lines of language that connect writers with readers around the world.
