My plan is to do a series of issues over the next year and once I have a good number of issues, to bind them somehow as a… Continue

"In search of... Luke Sinclair" from "Going Postal!" #2

"In search of… Luke Sinclair" from "Going Postal!" #2

I always see advertisements for zine distros in review zines, but I´ve never contacted any of them to see if they would be interested in carrying one of my zines.

Harry Potter Fanzine?

I don't know if anyone out there is as into Harry Potter as I am, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me with a Harry Potter compilation fanzine, or reading one, for that matter? Let me know about your thoughts and ideas~

Zine Documentary at RVA Zine Fest

I'll be working on a documentary about zines during the RVA Zine Fest, which I help organize. I'll have a table downstairs Friday and Saturday, so come see me. The first incarnation of this documentary will be a zine itself, so I'll have fun zine-making stuff at my table for you to play with. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!
