Aze (stylized AZE) is a literary magazine for asexual, aromantic, and agender people that was created in 2016 and publishes issues online.[1][2][3][4] It was formerly known as The Asexual until 2019 when it expanded to include aromantic and agender people.[2] The magazine publishes visual art, poetry, and personal and academic essays on the subjects of asexuality, aromanticism, and agender experiences and their various intersections.[1][2] It was founded by Michael Paramo.[5]

It is listed as an educational resource by some American university centers and elsewhere,[3][6][7] including Alice Oseman's young-adult fiction book Loveless (2022).[8] Writing in Aze has been referenced in scholarship published by Feminist Formations,[9] Sexualities,[10] Archives of Sexual Behavior,[11] Communication Education,[12] and others.[4]
