It’s always amazing to see how just a couple of changes, like a coat of paint or a quick do-it-yourself project, can transform a living space dramatically. It’s no different when it comes to WordPress.com blog themes, in which a little customization can go a long […]

Help!

Hello friends,

We’re hoping you might be able to help. To keep the online store open, it costs us far more than the small amounts we get from selling zines. We want to keep growing the zine distro and expanding the possbilities for the zinemakers we stock. To do this, we currently rely on people ordering things online, at zine fairs, and also the money we get from sales of Susy Pow’s zines - Tea & Biscuits, Don’t Panic, Everything Was Beautiful & Nothing Hurt, Comparisons Between… Continue

At 11:28pm on June 7, 2009, Emma D said…: Hey Susy, thanks for your little message. I haven't been keeping track of your novocastrian zine shop project. Does that mean you will be moving to Newcastle? When will it be opening? I might have a few things - a typewriter, possibly, and some stationery - to donate to you. Would you be needing envelopes at all? Because I have many envelopes. Many. And a bit of card stock and so on. Anyway, I'll send you an email with a proper list of stuff I've got that you're most welcome to if you want it. And yes, I am excited about my little exhibition, but scared also. I'm used to working collaborativly on art stuff, so it's a bit weird, having a show by myself. Well, I will be extremely glad if you can come to the opening! And thanks again for writing it up on your blog, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. Have a good afternoon. I'm going to the pub now, to read a book (and to drink, presumably). Adios! x

At 6:43pm on April 23, 2009, silverinsanity said…: Greetings! I see you're looking for minnies and smallzines to stock. I have 2 minis and a 1/4 that may interest you... Hello, that's not a bump; Mixtape - a mini zine; and 10 Dirty Little Secrets. Descriptions are on my page if you're interested.

At 5:20pm on April 15, 2009, Jessica Marie said…: Hey there- I saw your post on the mini zine folks group. What kind of mini zines are you looking for? because I just made a 1/4 sized one about dreams.
