| Spring Cleaning! Zine Grabbies! |
[14 May 2012|07:23pm] |
Hello!
I am moving and it's time for me to par down my zine collection. I am selling zine grabbies for the cost of postage, and I'd be sending them in a priority envelope. I can ship internationally, it'll just cost more! These zines are mostly half and quarter sized, and are mainly personal/feminist/travel/radical zines. If you are interested, please comment, or email me at ard54@humboldt.edu. Thanks!
xx Ashley

Hi, I have a some zines I'd like to pass on. They're mostly mini, and a few standard sized ones. I'll be sending between 10-15 in total. I'd like to swap them for anything crafty (stickers, gel pens...), or if you can just cover the cost for shipping that's fine too. I hope someone will take them! Please let me know.

| FAT-TASTIC! #2: a comp zine about loving your body |
[20 Apr 2012|10:06am] |
FAT-TASTIC! #2 A compilation zine about loving your body. Spring 2012 $1.50/20 pages/Half size by Sage & contributors
Issue #2 of FAT-TASTIC! includes submissions regarding body image, being fat & healthy, a thank you letter to Beth Ditto; plus a lengthy interview with yoga instructor, writer & Curvy Yoga founder, Anna Guest-Jelley. Photo submissions: “can you hear my cries”, genders speak out," and “going underground.”
From the interview, Yoga For Every Body: My mom took me to my first Weight Watchers meeting when I was 11. So for me to be in my body – to just feel good and not self-conscious or self-loathing – well, that was monumental. It was from that moment that I got hooked on yoga.

| New Escapologist complete back catalogue |
[04 Apr 2012|04:08pm] |
New Escapologist is a magazine for white-collar functionaries with escape on the brain.
Drawing from philosophy, literature and original humour; we discuss practical escape routes from the present-day predicaments of demeaning work, status anxiety and urban lethargy.
Each issue is a compendium of funny and practical essays on the subject of escape. We promote freedom, anarchy and the absurd.
All six issues are available from the website. Reasonable prices and with a 10% discount if you buy all six issues to date.
Our mags are printed by Lulu.com but are typeset in a very old-fashioned way and illustrated by many artists by hand. Each issue is between 50 and 100 pages long (except for Issue 1 which is just 30). We're a very amateur operation but we've managed to get a few nice interviews and contributions from better known authors and media personalities. Enjoy!
Our manifesto:

Hey! I finally got around to putting List 15 and Everydaypants #2 on-line for sale. I mean, right here.
List 15 is $4.
This issue is about moving to a new city to try to move on from a past relationship and to try to find a place that feels like home. It's about new figuring myself out, saying goodbye to the past, and opening new chapters. Some list samples are: big plans, things i miss/don't miss about chicago, being a confident introvert, adventures in dating, all the things that have happened since list 14, traits i admire in other people, how i ended up in a relationship, the things i think are most important, places i've been and what i remember about them, and many more!
( preview pages )
Everydaypants #2 is $3.
I drew all of these comics throughout the year 2011, for various things, and wanted to see them all in one place and in print! This includes a selection of pages from a 115 page, long-term comic series I've been working on about my first year in Philadelphia (to be printed at the end of 2012).
Everydaypants #2 is filled with short comics about music, diy, nannying, and moving to a new city.
This is 24 pages, black and white, and saddle stitched!
( preview pages )
If you wanna order one, you can paypal monies to everydaypants@gmail.com or send me an email (everydaypants@gmail.com) or comment if you want to order through the mail, and I'll give you my address. Non-creepers only, thanks.
It's also for sale on my etsy, but if you wanna just buy through me directly it saves me dumb etsy fees and I won't charge for shipping. How about that?
If you prefer etsy, however, my etsy shop is at http://everydaypants.etsy.com

In the UK, postage prices are about to go up by about 30% at the end of April.
Stamps marked with postage class (1st or 2nd) rather than specific price (36p) will still be valid at the new rates though, so fellow zinesters in the UK may want to stockpile them before the price hike :)
I imagine anyone running a distro already has done!

| New York City zine photocopy shops / Zines with bleeds |
[21 Mar 2012|09:16pm] |
I've started my first zine and I need some specific advice (sorry for the basic questions):
I assume 8.5 X 11 paper is a good size for distros & stores for shelving and display purposes. I want to fold it in half. The question is, I have an image for the front cover-- but I remember that photocopiers can't do bleeds-- has that changed in the last few yearss? What size paper would I use for the cover?
Can anyone recommend a specific copy or print shop? I want to do a color cover and maybe some color pages too, just based on what content I get from friends.
I'm also getting gently teased by some friends who think "why bother with that when there are blogs, and Facebook?" My answer? I like the feeling of reading and holding a book or paper. I even like the smell. Thanks ;)

| Dear Shane, I tried to kill myself |
[19 Mar 2012|01:49pm] |
This zine chronicles my last severe depressive episode leading up to and including my suicide attempts and subsequent hospitalization. It's honest and raw and most definitely triggering (suicide, depression, self injury, disordered eating, gender dysphoria, criminal activity, anxiety, grief), but I wrote it with the idea in mind, what would have made me feel less alone when I was feeling incredibly depressed and suicidal every single minute of every day? I feel really proud of this zine, and I'm hoping you'll like it, too.
( the cover and an excerpt: trigger warning for suicide stuff )
The zine is 101 pages, half sized.
$6, which includes shipping for inside of the US
$7, which includes shipping for outside of the US
If you're not into paypal, shoot me an e-mail to johnnyseesstars at gmail dot com and we can discuss.
And, since I've been out of the scene for a while, would anyone be kind enough to point me in the direction of good places to cross post this? I'd very much appreciate it!

* Really delicious lasagne recipe
It's available in my Etsy shop, along with multi-packs and back issues
I've also re-done my website with information about my zines. I've still got some left to scan, but all the text information is there.

| New zine! "All my friends are mountains" |
[03 Jan 2012|04:55pm] |
It's been said that the Kurds have no friends but the mountains.
There may or mayn't be much in that, but any friend of the mountains is a friend of mine. (you know, if they're okay with it)
So I chased curiosity and solidarity over the plains of Turkey and in to the Zagros Mountains of Iraq, the one Dubya saw fit to pull from the burning wreckage for his own ends. The zine talks about animal rights, wildlife trade and hunting in Iraq; antispeciesism; the environmental destruction of the war; the aftermath of Saddam; the aid industry; the Antideutsche's crusades in the Middle East; sex work and the female prison system in Iraq and Kurdistan; the Kurdish Spring; underground media in Kurdistan, and why not to carry Kurdish bullet shells through Turkish airport security. It also includes an awesome interview with the folks of the Kurdish Anarchist Forum.
And there is a lot of gushing about mountains. Mesopotamia ho!
( Read more... )
48 A5 pages. You can buy it for three bucks plus the cost of stamps on Etsy here. If three bucks is too much, write me and we can figure something out. If you're feeling well generous, you're welcome to send whatever amount works to projectbridget@hotmail.com with pay-friend Thing. As you might've noticed I often like using my zines to raise ca$h for various orgs, but in this case (as I expand on in the zine!) there's a lot of head-pounding deliberation over where would be a good place to send money raised... so if I arrive at a good answer I'll let you know – otherwise it'll go towards mine and Sebastian's impending Aotearoa mountain adventures :)
