What is Peach Palace?

Peach Palace is a femme, queer, and community-rooted publication based in Chicago. We exist to celebrate radical softness, DIY magic, and unapologetic self-expression. We're a coven of creators, lovers, artists, healers, and performers making space for stories that don't fit neatly into categories—but sparkle wildly at the edges.

Each issue is an altar to the people who give from the core, who dance at the crossroads of joy and grief, and who choose glitter and revolution every single day. We uplift queer voices, trans power, pleasure, performance, and poetry in all their messy, beautiful forms.

This zine is not curated for mass appeal. It’s made for you—the one who cries in the club, brings snacks to the protest, and lights a candle before answering a text back. If you feel too much and love too hard, welcome home.

Peach Palace is:

  • Playfully chaotic, but deeply intentional

  • Silly, sexy, and soft—but always smart

  • Y2K glitter witch meets punk house altar

  • A place where care is political, and art is sacred

We write like we’re texting our hot witch friend at 2am. We speak in spells, emojis, and confessions. We tell the truth, even when it trembles. We believe the personal is the poetic.

Each issue is packed with magic…

Our Story

Tired of hearing the same old overnight success stories?

What about the ones that took years of dedication and commitment?

How many times have you had an idea and been told to clean it up, tone it down, or make it marketable?

This publication is our soft refusal.

We exist to celebrate what the algorithm can’t capture:

The glitter in your grief.
The spell in your selfies.
The kink in your community care.

Peach Palace is a living archive of queer joy, femme rage, sacred mess, and body-bound wisdom. It’s where performance meets ritual, where poetry meets protest, and where DIY isn’t just an aesthetic—it’s survival.

We are here to hold space for each other.To uplift the chaotic givers, the lovers, the organizers, the witches, the brats, the artists who keep this world spinning.To remember that our pleasure, our voices, our homes, and our art matter.

We exist because you do.

By weaving together art, activism, and community, Peach Palace is not just bringing the renaissance back to Chicago—it’s redefining it for a new generation, where queerness is at the center of cultural rebirth and celebration.
