She was ready for anything...
i build two different zines.
one is a perzine called 'she was ready for anything'
the other is a storybook zine called 'misery is my muse'.
i have been building zines on my own and in groups since 1999/2000ish.
i have the phrase 'cut & paste' tattooed on my feet as a tribute to my zinester-ism.
during the day, i make clothing and run a concept shop/contemporary gallery in downtown barrie, ontario (just north of toronto). i don't build nearly as many zines as i used to because of this. i'm going to try to work on that.
i am always up for a trade, i am building an extensive library of zines not built by me.
sometimes my zines are for sale:

hypothetically.....
i don't want to build things at work (this is hard, considering i'm a fashion designer), when i come home i don't want to build things that aren't work. i mostly just want to lay on the floor. something epically horrible is happening to my downtown. more friends are closing their stores. so when will it be my turn to fully… Continue

i just thought you should all be aware
i can barely keep track of the trades i'm currently involved in. i have zines waiting in my mailbox at least once a week. i have comments from people who like what i've written and want to read more. i've run out of issues and had to get more copied.
i feel myself falling in love with zines all over.
thank you to all the people i've traded with. thank you to all future trades as well.
when i was in high school, people wrote zines. and i wrote… Continue

Meaghan Schaible said… - Ah, yes! I am struggling to write a large amount. I am hoping to revise a few that I have already made so that they are a bit lengthier. Any tips?
I also received your zine. I got it some time this week and have been lacking in communication skills due to a hefty work schedule. (Who knew being a waitress and a petting zoo caretaker would drain so much energy out of you!?)
Anyway, I havn't gotten around to reading it quite yet but I am very eagar to open it up. Can't wait!
