I view Hal Niedzviecki’s decision to end Broken Pencil as his selfish and spiteful personal choice. One that deeply lets down the very community that helped BP grow to be a vital space for the zine community and independent arts.

I hope that in the deep hole Broken Pencil Magazine's ending leaves, healthy communities take root. I hope that these communities are not so vulnerable to one individual person’s experiences, beliefs, and shortcomings.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The end of Broken Pencil Magazine marks a severing of stories that connect us to each other, making us all more susceptible to alienation and hopelessness.
