Seeking contributions for sex issue!
Hi, I put a sex zine together that I gave out for free at the 2007 london zine symposium. It was half me, and half contributions from friends - interviews about diverse bits. It was pretty ropey and…

Footprint zine printing question
Sorry I wrote that without actually following the thread. My zines were all low-fi black-n-white sketches so no need for specific high quality print. They explain the machines they use on the website…

Footprint zine printing question
I've had a few zines done by them, they're pretty good, pretty nice, pretty professional. Tell em the details of your job, ask them for a quote, they'll probably have a question or two to finalise, a…

ooh, i feel honoured to have a thread somewhere in cyberspace about me!
I did a free 'newcastle zine review' this summer but only printed 50 copies.
Mainly because I realised it was really limited to the zines I knew about.
Since then, half of the zines I did a 2-line review for have already folded or left for london, b…

November's threefold ceremonies of death have declared our ritual goodbyes to summer. Winter is arriving and soon it will be time to celebrate it. Town is getting busier at night - and bloody scary. Each small local gig feels snug and warm,…

For zinesters in the UK and Ireland
Will be bringing some of my free zines down, probably as part of the Paper Jam Comics Collective from Newcastle. First time down, is it any good?

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!
Story Zine & Hybrid Zine
Making the story zine was lovely. 8 people took part.
The ugliest breakfast in the world was made on my campstove. Phipps was looking after a friend's dog, which did a poo.

I give all mine out for free cos it feels too much like work to sit charging money for them. But I've spent over £500 over the last year making them (and more buying other people's!) so...

November's threefold ceremonies of death have declared our ritual goodbyes to summer. Winter is arriving and soon it will be time to celebrate it. Town is getting busier at night - and bloody scary. Each small local gig feels snug and warm, a cave of drink and music in which, in little clusters of friendly strangers, we can shut out the cold black sky. Some of us will play guitar and share some songs. Others will drink, in honour of king winter.
On the no.12 bus, I see an Asian lady sit… Continue

The Story Zine we made at the Star & Shadow cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne, this October.
Story Zine & Hybrid Zine
Making the story zine was lovely. 8 people took part.
The ugliest breakfast in the world was made on my campstove. Phipps was looking after a friend's dog, which did a poo.
And inspired by some trashy hire-books from the Grainger Market we produced some rather racy page-long works.
Here's excerpts (we mostly chose to be 'anon' so I'll just number them).
See if you can work out which room each takes place in. The title of the zine became 'It happened in the star &… Continue

Story Zine Making this weekend in Newcastle-upon-Tyne - all welcome!
Dear all,
One of the many low-key creative things that happen at the Star & Shadow cinema is taking place on Saturday, from 10.30am onwards for 2 hours or so. If you are free, please come and join in - all are welcome, it's free and there's no need to be an expert!
At 10.30 we will share a wee breakfast & coffee in the office (bring anything you want!), flick through some trashy paperbacks - a western, a crime thriller, a mills'n'boon lovestory etc.. - and decide who wants to go where.… Continue

- Trade you a copy of my Yard Sale! for your childhood zine?
I don't have too many remnants of actual childhood stories or drawings but I've wanted to write a zine from the perspective of when I was a kid.

- hey, I saw your post on the trade group-- I would very much like the "zine from my childhood" and a george zine, pretty please? I'll have to check if I have enough cash for stamps (can you tell I'm a student? haha) but I'll hopefully send my request off tomorrow or Wednesday, along with my zine! and I'll be sure to send you my cat zine in a couple weeks when it's complete, if you send me a george one. :)

- aw, that's very sweet. a blind dog lives in my house, so I know what's it's like for them to be stumbling into things that have moved. (we recently had renovations and added a wall- boy, did that confuse her!)
