Introvert, Click Clack, & The RVA Zine Fest.
THIS IS ME
I am Nicole Introvert. I have written the personal zine Introvert for about 12 years now... and yet am only on issue #6... slated to be out BY January. But isn't that how we zinesters work? I love zines and zine culture. Independent media is one of the most important things in my life.
I have recently started Click Clack Distro. My goal in that is to distribute zines and zine related items to help make them more attainable. Being in zine culture for over a decade I have seen a number of distros open & close... or "open" and then are never heard from again. I felt the need to open this distro to have something solid and hopefully make it an important part of the zine community by providing proof that zines are still alive.
I also am an organizer for the Richmond Zine Fest.

a few tips/rhetorical questions...

What city do you live in? Are you sure there aren't any resources there already? What exactly are you trying to accomplish by creating a "zine scene"? A zine library? Meet ups? Writing groups? A reading group? Zine fests? Readings?
Lots of new zines up... descriptions coming soon!
Easy fix... don't write in your mock up. Write on a separate piece of paper and paste it in.
Dan who are you referencing when you try to say he's getting advice from folks who have no employment experience and have never been in management? I certainly hope you weren't attempting to refer to me. I've got about 7/8 years experience in mana...

Click Clack Distro Fights SIDS
October is SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) Awareness Month. As you may or may not know, I have a newphew who passed away at 4 months old from SIDS in the summer of 2007. My zine Introvert #6 is about my experiences with that trying time in my family's life.
For the entire month of October 20% of all sales at Click Clack Distro will be donated to First Candle, a SIDS organization t… Continue

I'm Not Lion / Zacery said… - Hi Nicole, I don't even know what to expect at a zinefest...like, what would be there? I've seen a couple'a pictures of loads of tables and stuff.
What is the trading etiquette? I've never asked someone to trade in person before.
Uhh, what else...umm, how do you get a table? Any advice on getting that table noticed? God, this is fascinating. I look forward to this article.

Chantel G. said… - Oh, yes, I TOTALLY understand you not being able to give me Jenna's contact info. But yes, next time you contact her, please do ask if I can contact her or give her my email address (chantelcherie [at] yahoo [dot] com) or just tell her I think her zine is amazing. I will order more copies to give away.
And I also want to say that I am super happy with Click Clack Distro. My zines got to me really fast with no problems. Thank You!

- Hey Nicole,
I received my order from Click Clack Distro. thanks! i was going to save all of it to read on an upcoming trip, but I ripped the envelope open this morning to find something to read while I waited at the dental clinic. I pulled out Revolution by Jenna Renegade. I was so enthralled while reading it. It is Lovely. LOVELY! It is such a nice zine, so sweet and positive. I really want to send Jenna fan letter, but couldn't find an address. Do you know how to get in touch with Jenna?
Once I get my finances in order, I am going to order a stack of this zine to hand out to my friends.
Thank you for having this zine in your distro!
