Where it all began
Rooted in curiosity and driven by a love for language, we uncover the literature you didn’t know you were missing.
Zimmer Magazine explores the spaces where stories, culture, and critical thought intersect - from overlooked voices to rediscovered gems. We publish work that challenges, delights, and stays with you — drawn from across time zones, genres, and traditions.
Since our founding in 2023, we’ve built a community of readers and writers who believe that literature is not just read, but lived. Through our features, essays, and creative work, we invite you to slow down, read deeper, and discover something you didn’t expect to find.

We cannot change orders once they have been placed. Your order is immediately processed within external centres such as our print house and shipping house, which means we are unable to make any amendments to your order.
If you have received your order and it is damaged or not in the advertised condition, please contact hello@zimmerbooks.com and we will happily look into the issue for you.
Are any purchases final sale?
We are able to offer refunds on any magazines as long as the request has been made within 14 days of purchase. The magazine should also be in the original condition, with no opened packaging. At this time, we are unable to refund shipping costs. If you would like to return an item, please email hello@zimmerbooks.com with your order number and reasoning, or intention, to return.
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. We aim to process orders within one working day, however delays may be caused by weekends and UK bank holidays. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase. Orders outside the United Kingdom may incur larger fees which are due to pre-existing laws or regulations to which our print house must adhere.
