Jen / She's Not a Morning Person
I'm Jen - a 30 year old fat queer zinester from Los Angeles. I used to run MAD People Distro for seven years and have been writing She's Not a Morning Person zine since 1998.
The newest issue is #10.
Description: From the intro: "This is a love letter to all of my fellow cat ladies and cat men out there." The zine is about my two cats and other cats that have graced my life. It's about how my cat-love evolved and how it was destiny. It's lighthearted and purrific and I hope you like it.
40 pages, 1/4-sized, assorted covers
If you're interested in buying, please go to http://jenvenegas.com/zine
Distros, please contact me for sample copies and wholesale rates!
I love to trade for the following: mental health zines, craft zines, body positive zines, zines about animals/pets/cats, queer zines, crafts
I also blog over at Skinned Knees: http://skinnedknees.net about body positivity, fatshion, feminism, and pretty things.

Room 15 Press said… - I saw you have a zine about your cats! I just wrote a 40 page booklet titled "Life With Joshua". My furry cat best friend would have been 19 this May. He died on March 18th this year and the booklet is all about my life with him. The day that he died I began writing about every memory great and small of him, his health problems, and of course, about his last day. I included lots of photos of he and I together as well as a map of my apartment so the reader could get a better idea of where he lived and understand when I describe locations. -Chris

Nichole said… Hi Jen! Would you be up to trading a couple issues of your zine for a couple of mine? My perzines often have threads of mental health strung through them, and the first issue of A Visitor in Myself is about BPD.

fishspit said… hello jen,
i think i would very much like to read your 'zine. I think you may find my 'zine of interest. I'll trade if you'd like.
my 'zine is called wiseblood and i have a number of issues i will send you concerning my stays in psychiatric wards and crazy stories of my life as an addict. My only warning is that it is rather bitter and sassy.
Oh, plus, almost every cover is cat-related. i'm obsessed with cats.
if you'd like to trade my address is 1304 175th Pl. NE, Bellevue, WA, 98008
thanks, fishspit.

There is also writing on how my relationship with my father shaped me, for both the good and the bad. The zine is raw,…
