Let's Trade Zines!

Information

This is a group designed specifically for trading your zine for someone elses. Post a decription of your zine or contact some people in the group directly!

Latest Activity: 4 hours ago

I realised there wasn't a group on WMZ specific to zine trades so I wanted to get something in place so that people can pool together their interest in trading.

Thanks for making this the biggest group on We Make Zines!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone seems to post a new thread in the forum when they want to share their zines but why not just come to one group where you know people are going to be receptive when you want to share with them!

TO GET STARTED, ADD A COMMENT INCLUDING A ONE-LINER ABOUT YOUR ZINE FOR TRADE AND A ONE-LINER ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE AFTER IN THE TRADE (IF YOU'RE FEELING SPECIFIC)....

Comment by Angry Violist on July 19, 2011 at 10:39am: I am zine rich, cash poor. Who would like to trade with me???

My zine is all about being a string player who is sick of being forced to play classical music, and who wants a more experimental, noisy, punk future!

It has perzine, music zine and how-to/DIY zine elements.
ISSUE FOUR includes:
*an interview with Raincoats violinist, Vicki Aspinall
*a guide to string playing in Krautrock
*the amazing Krautrock Krautmap
*an appreciation of violists*punk versus folk: which four letter word will win? A look at the similarities between the genres
*how to make your playing sound grubby and super-scuzzy

Zines 1, consumerism 0!

Comment by Rachel on July 13, 2011 at 9:26pm: my new perzine, reimagining queer community, is finished!

reimagining queer community is a personal investigation into my evolving relationship to queerness, as well as some of the ways in which i navigate queer spaces around me. some of the topics in this zine include: alienation and estrangement from the queer community, what it means to feel connected, the myth of a cohesive queer community, being a spectator versus being a participant, (personal and shared) queer histories, and potential strategies to build new alliances.

this was my first attempt at making a twenty four hour zine (it wound up taking three days due to work/life interruptions, but who’s counting?) it is 20 pages, 1/4 sized and text heavy. i am asking for $1 or a trade. if you are interested, please email uniunverse@gmail.com.

Comment by Ken Bausert on July 9, 2011 at 7:34am: Just found out about this feature; wish I had been more active on We Make Zines so I would have found it sooner. I produce the Ken Chronicles, a perzine featuring mostly non-fiction, real-life experiences, travels, anecdotes, opinion, music reviews (1960s to current), book and zine reviews, etc., although not every issue has everything. Looking to trade with like-minded zinesters (one to start & no hard feelings if we don't trade again). Mine is digest-size, 20 to 28 pages (depending on how the spirit moves me and how much material I see fit to include), copy-machined with (usually) a full-color centerfold (via ink-jet). I'm not really interested in zines that are heavily dependent on politics or religion, have nothing against gays/lesbians but not into gay zines; okay with sex but can do without excessive violence. I have some back issues available & #20 (August) out soon; $2 each (USA & Canada) but I'd really rather trade. Foreign exchange considered. (Will be away next week so please don't take it personal if I don't respond right away.)

Comment by Joe Wallace on July 8, 2011 at 3:58pm: Hello all...looking to trade with fellow personal zinesters and anyone doing zines that are too bizarre/weird/unclassifiable to fit into a convenient label. I've just posted Penguin F@cker #1 on Etsy for sale and would love to connect with you here or on Etsy. I love cross promotion, so would be happy to swap links, add to my circle there, etc...if you want to trade, please message me for details.

Comment by zoe blaq on July 8, 2011 at 3:29pm: There are some intriguing zins here! Lets trade..

ABSTRACT BY NATURE

Comment by ric ramos on June 30, 2011 at 8:01pm: Hello! Mini zine I edit the "unfolding", Window Powerful. Zine is a monthly reviews and thematic with the caricatured his subjects. The zine is originally from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.The zine is written in Portuguese, and now I'm also going to English for sale worldwide.The zine is being acclaimed as an approach in the underground scene in Brazil. It is basically made ??up my curiosity about things in the world, crossing with other people's opinions bordering historical and cultural factors. A mere artistic mosaic!He has a size of an A4 sheet folded in two (size: 4,1 x5, 9 inches) - technically with 8 pages, B & W, $ 2.00

Comment by Rob Bowen on June 17, 2011 at 3:08pm: The third issue of my zine Printaissance is cut, pasted, and ready for consumption! This is a per/lit zine mixing personal anecdotes, original poetry, and some truly personal insights into my writing and the muses that guide my pen to fill the chapters of this new issue. It is titled This is for my Muses and is focused on those literary inspirers of the written word!

Issue 3 (26 half page pages)
