I found 50 copies of an old zine I did years ago called Sad Libs. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to reprint them because I have no access to the machines I once did, so I'm very glad to have found these. It's nice to be able to offer them to anyone that might want to have a copy. sad-libs

In anticipation of Paper Radio #8, editor DJ Frederick asked that we mark all other issues as half off. Simply to get them, affordably, into the hands of you, dear readers. The most dedicated advocate of radio culture, Paper Radio/Signals makes you feel the passion of real radio. And it feels good.…

I finished copying, collating, and stapling the 11th issue of my zine, Tazewell's Favorite Eccentric last night, only to receive a really sweet, hesitant call from a friend asking if I meant to misspell the name on purpose. I actually did not, but as a result, the first print run will have a very small amount of pink sharpie hand lettering, and can be obtained by sending $3 ppd to my address, or via paypal to piratesarah@gmail.com, or by trading perzines with me.

I have never…

SUBMISSIONS WANTED FOR NEW ISSUE OF ENCHANTED TIMES

When it began 2 years ago, Enchanted Times was basically a vehicle invented to carry 3 revisionist fairy tale short stories/flash fiction I had already written.  I had no idea at the time that it would become my only ongoing project (amidst many other one-offs); but there have now been 3 issues (#1 & #2 now condensed into an omnibus edition) plus 5 mini-zine supplements, and there is definitely more to…

Hello to anyone reading this...

I am working on a "literary" zine, meaning that in it you will find works of fiction and non-fiction, but not how-to articles, etc. Most of the work will be about the weird, disturbing, or odd-ball. 

The answer to, and winner (if any) for, our last contest question of:

This writer wrote the first self help book. Name the writer and the title of the book.

IS: Good for a few laughs! Because the book is titled, "Self Help (with illustrations of Character and Conduct) and was written by Samuel SMILES. 



We had a winner! Congratulations to J. B. from Mechanicsville, VA. 

Seems the rest of you were not all 'Smiles" on this one. I don’t dumb down, so please wise…
