About me:
I write one-shot litzines that are alternately magical, strange, and kind of sad. Short stories, letters, and the occasional random bits.
My newest zine is Further Distractions. I have it up on Etsy, or you can contact me for my address to do it the old fashioned way.
Older zines are Everything Good and Beautiful, I Have a Song for You, and Potentially Heartwrenching Distractions. I live in Santa Cruz, CA.
You can see more about my zines and stuff at www.bucketsiler.com

Bucket Siler replied to Hannah / Frothy Press's discussion Pricing Zines"I decide my price based on how much it costs to print and if there are any hand-done elements. As others have mentioned, prices for printing and postage keep going up. For the most part I do shipping separately, so for my black-and-white photocopied…"
Bucket Siler replied to Aj Michel's discussion Zine Making Regrets"I have to admit that there's part of me that wishes I hadn't decided to hand-sew, print, and paint every copy of I Have a Song for You. It was painfully time-consuming and tedious and now--since I don't have the heart to let it go out…"

Both times I made my goal.…"
