We Make Zines

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

i'm excited. i purchased a typewriter today. i've been using the typewriter at my desk at work to do most of the typing in my past issues, but i'm going to be moving offices soon and won't have access to it anymore. definitely time. i'm thrilled at the prospect of being able to type immediately at home instead of having to wait to type things i've written over the weekend on monday at work.

Oh, you're so lucky! I've been wanting a new one for awhile. Just wondering, I have a non-electric typewriter, and would you happen to know how to fix it? THe problem is that it's skipping and sliding a bunch of spaces after i type each letter. I really wanted to use it for my next zine, but I have to use on hand to keep the slidey thing in place because it skips and one hand to type!

What an awesome machine! I do prefer the original "Royal" manual brand the best, but newer models are fun to work with. There's nothing like the sound of manual keys striking the page as you type on an old typewriter! It brings back so many memories of my youth... pounding away writing what would be read around the world!

you know what's a shame? I dont know how to use one. the last time i saw/touched (but never actually used) one was probably when i was 4 or five. i remember it was back at our old house. it sucks because we were one of those people who converted into a pc way too early...
