Lots of fun at the ALA last weekend! Got to hang out with Jenna Freedman, spent time with Julia Eff, and met some Broken Pencil people. Rock on! DC zinefest is next month, looking forward to it.

so many zinefests, so little time… I went to Gridfest in Salt Lake City in April, Chicago Zinefest in May, and Scranton Zinefest last week! Got a couple events in DC coming up in the next 6 weeks. What about everyone else out there?

That is awesome! Zines can be really addictive. Everything you do now, you’ll think, “Oh, that would be a great zine.”
Billy started the topic Question for everyone in the forum General Zine Stuff 2 months, 3 weeks ago

What is your greatest zine accomplishment?

This goes out to zine-makers and zine-readers. Are you especially proud of a zine your made? Or one you found in a thrift store? Are you super stoked about someone you met because of zines? Were you interviewed on local radio about your zine? What’s the thing you brag about most?

Certain answers…[Read more]

Billy replied to the topic Zine Fest - Advice? in the forum General Zine Stuff 1 year ago

Great topic for discussion! I’ve gone to many zinefests, as a tabler and as a dude just walking around.

What is awesome = Making a new friend, and trading zines with them.
What else is awesome = Trading for a zine that is really great

What sucks = When someone pressures you into trading for a zine you don’t want.

Every tabler is different.…[Read more]

I have created a zine survey! If you haven’t taken it, please do! I’m starting to gather information about us zine-makers, it’s really interesting.

Are you looking to make zine-related stuff? Like Sea Green buttons, or Nyx stickers? Just curious.

Pick the thing you want to do, and focus on that. Decide if you want to make stuff yourself, or just HAVE the stuff. http://www.stickerguy.com or https://contagiousgraphics.com/ are good for stickers. just upload an image or text and they will make…[Read more]

I am working on a general survey to give zinesters, particularly those at zinefests. Are there any questions or topics you think need to be asked/discussed? Pricing? Production? Ideas?
Billy replied to the topic Star trek Fanzine. in the forum General Zine Stuff 1 year, 2 months ago

YES!!!

This posting should be in the “Call For Submissions” section though.

But yes, can you send me a PM? I’d love to do something for ya!

The only one I can think of off the top of my head was put out by RazorCake:

Distro Zines

Scroll down. They run an article in their zine called “One Punk’s Guide,” and each one is a different topic. They did one on “outlaw country” that was really good. They sell the articles as individual zines.
