Following its win in the Best Fanzine category at the 2018 Broken Pencil Zine Awards, Sapphic Angst Fest has got a one-page write-up in the latest issue of Broken Pencil. It includes the comments of judge Cole Pauls, who felt the zine was "culturally so important".

Sapphic Angst Fest has been shortlisted along with five other titles in the Fanzine category at this year’s Broken Pencil Zine Awards.
