Who the hell are we?
All Guts No Glory is a mixed media collaborative salon comprised of Alice Bates and Milena Bee, two high schoolers who went on to terrorize the town of Olympia, WA for the duration of their college years only to return to Los Angeles, CA as the dust settled. They're focused on creating quarterly magazines filled with the art they've come to love and produce.
We are a collaborative, DIY-culture platform.
We publishing writing and art online, but our real talent is physical production. We started out with zineletters - a legal-size leaflet suitable for reading with your morning coffee - and now we’re onto quarterlies, which are now an expanded glimpse into what’s on our mind, on demand - we want you to see and engage with all the things that make our heart flutter, and find your own time to recover from the endless news cycle.
By solidifying our digital platform, we can take our curated content and expand it to the e-world. This small press lit mag, open to the masses, is our public face - a promotion and a premonition.
We’re two valley girls trying to make it in the big bad world of media, and we invite you to join - whether that’s a pledge, a submission, or a share in the right direction. Let your friends know, or if you're freaky, your enemies. Everyone deserves a little escape, and we’re here to deliver it. Hit up our shop to get your copies.
