Gimme Brains!!! Distro reopens

It's been a long while since the distro is opened. Lots of factors play into that but it's open now and I'm having a sale for it.

By the way, if the layout is kind of a hassle to navigate let me know so I can make it much more accessible. Thank you!

Sale has been long over!

Mini Zine - A Moment In Time

Inspired by an old photographic project of mine (read about it here) I put together a mini zine about eight individuals sharing a single moment in time - 12.11pm to be exact. Its printed on a single sheet of A4 which is then folded up to fit in the palm of your hand. It also opens up to reveal a puzzle regarding the eighth individual. I plan to place a couple in time related library books during one of my visits… Continue

Closing in on 42 and still doing it

Someone saw my recently-added page here and said, "Nick, I can't believe you're still doing this stuff." I took it as a compliment. I did my first fanzine in 1980 (I was 12 at the time), then had a ten-year run from 81-91 with a SINGLE title, took some time to get married and have kids, then did another print zine from 03-08 before going the way of the dreaded e-zine (although I must admit it's much easier, cheaper, and faster to do).

BUT---I'll always have the itch to do an… Continue

no good news, sorry...

i had one big change in my life happening and it disrupted the whole balance of things. not that the balance was doing very well before that happened but i still had some hope. right now, that little hope is almost gone, and it's hard to find the strength to keep doing the things i liked doing...

this is all a long story, my intention isn't to flood the community with another useless and pointless (since it's got nothing to do with the theme of Zines). i just want to let some people… Continue

Holiday...Sale?

Though we tend not to care much about most holidays, we thought we would have a sale anyway. Maybe think of it as an end-of-the-year sale, instead. It's a two parter...

1. We're clearing some space. In the next couple months we're getting a lot of new stuff in and restocking a lot of stuff and we need to make some room. So, with each order in the next month, we're putting in some extras. Zines we only have a copy or two left of and don't list anymore, cd's, tapes, buttons, stickers,… Continue

The Life and Times of a Publisher and Writer

As a fulltime writer and publisher, my work life doesn’t start at 9 and end at 5 like most. If anything, my day starts around 10 in the morning and ends around midnight, six days a week.

Of course, I’m not sitting in front of a computer for 14 hours every day. I’d go into severe burnout if I did (i.e. I pulled a 17-hour shift the other day and paid for it bigtime the next). But my work day has no off switch. I get the bulk of what I need to do done before 5pm, have supper, spend time… Continue

Little Grrrl Lost & Found ISSUE NO. 2

Issue No. 2 of my zine is now available for purchase in my Etsy store (www.blambert1.etsy.com) for $1.50 each...I have 10 in total. I have not had much success with selling my zines online and am also looking for any advice experienced sellers can provide me. This issue focuses on domestic violence (abuse), natural beauty vs. being trendy and fashionable, run aways, and lots of other HOT topics that spontaniously zip through my mind. I would luv to… Continue
