I just finished Anatomical Heart #5. It's a perzine about my mental illness and more. I'd like to trade for other perzines, please. If you'd like to trade with me, email me at xbettiex@gmail.com or just go ahead and send your zine and I'll send mine back to you! Here's where it should go if you'd like to do that: Bettie Walker, 2 The Green, Blencogo, Wigton, Cumbria, CA7 0DF, UK.

Hope it's okay to post this here, as it's about an external trade... I just discovered that Alma Stoller (you'll probably know who she is, if you're into art zines; if not, check out Etsy!) is running an arty/crafty zine trade. You can get the full details here.

I think it looks like an interesting way to run a trade: she is asking for 10 copies of your zine to be sent to her, and she will send you 10 different zines, in return. Your own 10 zines will in turn be sent out to the other people who take part. I've taken part in quite a few trades lately, and it gets frustrating when you send things out in good faith & get nothing in return. With one person (in this case, Alma) co-ordinating the physical receiving & despatching of zines, I think this should mean that you will actually get as many back as you send out. For once.

This kind of trade would only work with a trustworthy host (which this one has), though - otherwise, it might be a very quick & easy way for some unscrupulous type to set up their own distro!

I would love to trade zines with anyone whos interested. I was just in the twin cities zine fest over the weekend selling/trading zines and had sooo much fun. I've been making zines since 1999. I make artsy, feminist, social commentary zines!

Hello. Anyone want to trade with me? My zine is 20 A5 pages about crafty things I like to do and includes a crafty project. It is my first zine. I will accept anything in return, doesnt even have to be your zine!

My first ever 24 hour zine is ready for you!

It is called Open Book, and it's a half size perzine .

It includes 38 things about me (and a shout out to Eunice for the idea), the story of why I live in Lawrence, KS, writing about my body image issues, and a piece about my recent run in with 81 chiggers and a tick. There's more, but I'll let some things be a surprise.

If anyone wants a copy, let's trade your lovely zine for my lovely zine.

You can write to me at

PO Box 1483
Lawrence, KS 66044

I make a litzine called 398. Issue#10 has 11 short stories with a fairy tale feel and issue #10.5 tells a bit about the stories behind the stories. I'd love to trade with others who make litzines, but I like perzines too.

I've become hooked on mini zines and made three in the last two days! I thought I'd post blurbs about them here in case anyone wants to read them:

Raven: a mini zine about the goddess Morrigan

A short biography of the Irish goddess of war and death, as well as a small note on why I feel drawn to her and love her stories. There is also an insert that comes along with it that tells about an unusual experience I had the day after writing this zine.

Books of 2009 {Thus Far}

A few book reviews of books I've read this year, including How to (Un)Cage a Girl by Francesca Lia Block, Succulent Wild Woman by SARK, a children's book by Neil Gaiman, the Twilight saga, and more.

She Said

A pocket-sized collection of seven out of the many quotes by women that have made me feel happy or empowered, including quotes by Tori Amos, Alice Walker, and Carrie Fisher. The pages are decorated by collage art.


Up for trades or if you just want a copy, let me know and I'll send you one! They're little, so they're super inexpensive to send!

Issue #11 of my perzine Feels Like Friday is done & I would love to trade!

This issue, my favourite so far, is about growing up and being angry for a reason. It features a long stream-of-consciousness piece about everything from patriarchy and feminism to my dislike of a certain Young Liberal to work and money to living in the suburbs to procrastination. Also in this issue, writing about how dying my hair blue turned out to be a big deal, whether missing out on being a ‘proper’ teenager was such a bad thing, being a student and Part I of Fan Tales which is about my experiences with the local music scene – the first part is about the downside of my favourite local bands becoming famous.

My new perzine, Beautiful Mess #1, is going to be available for trade in about a week, if anyone's interested.
The theme is setting out on my own and trying to deal with life as it comes, in a nutshell. It's fairly text-heavy, but I put a lot of images in there as well. There's a picture of the cover in my zines album on my page. Feel free to contact me for more information as well!
