Mock Turtle Zine is an independent publishing effort undertaken to give artists and authors in Dayton, Ohio, and surrounding areas a vehicle for sharing their work. We pride ourselves as being not-for-profit and 100% volunteer staffed.

Our Vision

Mock Turtle Zine seeks to motivate people in the region to visit our urban hub—Dayton, OH—and to seek out all of the creative outlets enriching our cityscape. We showcase local creatives to publicize their work and the outstanding happenings in and around downtown. We never profit from the Zine; thus, it is free to all. We’re here for you!

“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”

― Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
