How do you decide when an issue of your zine is "out of print"?
22 Replies

About Me
Hello there ♥.
I write a perzine with a mental health and feminist emphasis, called Not Lonely. That sounds rather serious, but I try to keep the mood of my zines fairly upbeat and include a sense of humour even when writing about the darker sides of life. I also write a book review zine called The Malcontents' Book Club. Each issue is 40 A6 (quarter size) pages. For descriptions, reviews &/or to order my zines please click here.
In addition to zines my hobbies are: photography, crafts, letters, art, music, cinema and reading. I also love birds, tattoos, hoarding stationery, typewriters, tea & biscuits, my couch and playing video games. I'm expecting my first baby on 1 March 2012.
Read my blog & follow me on twitter & follow me on tumblr.

Jaye replied to Hannah (Not Lonely Zine)'s discussion How do you decide when an issue of your zine is "out of print"?"I tend to stop offering them when I run out of them AND I don't feel like making any more. I think, over time, I'd rather make a new one than to keep printing the older ones.

Hello Hannah! I finally have Pieces #5 available for trade, and would love to get #5 of your zine. I'd also love to get the split zine you did with Lisa. I don't know what I'd have to do to make it worth your while (I can write you a nice letter, include a handmade postcard, tea, and some trinkets possibly?) but if you are willing to send that along too, I would be oh-so happy! Just let me know. nichole[at]illvision.net
