We Make Zines

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

I haven't left any of mine out in the great wide world yet, but I've been thinking about the places I can leave zines. I got familiar with leaving books places with book crossing, but are there any special considerations you have with where you leave your zines or do you just let fly? Have you ever experienced any sort of backlash from leaving your zine in the 'wrong' place?

I like to hide my zines inside of library books or between shelves, I try to put them in a book with a similar topic. 

I also give them to buskers when I walk past and give them some change. 

There is a thing called Advantcard in Australia which is free postcards - some of art, some for advertisers, if my zine is a post card size I'll put a few in an empty shelves. 

Well there are obvious places like book and record stores, but I like to go to a library and find some cool books (music books for music zines and I will just put perzines in random books I like). Oh yeah, I find that in book stores, if I don't put  a "free" sticker on it, it takes longer for someone to take it. My favorite place I ever left a zine was the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur. That place is amazing. I wonder what happened to the zine...

hmm, curious, I mainly send my zines for post or distro in a zine meeting.
