Kickstarter campaign for Sorrow Pants zine [01 Jun 2012|09:45pm] tinaisnoacronym Hi all! I am one of four friends who is taking part in a four-way split zine called Sorrow Pants. We hail from all four corners of the U.S. quite literally and have become really close over the course of the last two years. Our dream is to meet up in Portland for the annual Portland Zine Symposium and debut our zine there together, as a united front. If you donate to our cause, you could definitely help us reach that goal. But you're not just donating and not getting something back in return. For those who don't know, with Kickstarter there are incentives depending on how much you donate. We'll be giving out stickers, surprises, a plethora of zines (not just Sorrow Pants but we also all have our own collaboration zines to add to the mix) tote bags full of zines, t-shirts, and more! Once we hit our goal we will be adding a pre-order option, too. So for $6-domestic AND international shipping included-you can support us by pre-ordering a copy of Sorrow Pants. We hope that you'll help us on our mission. Here's the link to our Kickstarter and also our ridiculous little video. :) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/470519575/support-sorrow-pants-zine Thanks for reading this far! submit

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE DIGITIZED – Open call for submissions! [27 May 2012|01:58pm] kittykerosene11 WHO?  The Revolution Will Not Be Digitized is a half-size compilation zine with a focus on the manifestation of art, actions, and ideas in the real world. WHAT?  What kind of things are you talking about, you ask? Well, all kinds, really:  zines, art, protest marches, coffee (or martini) dates for  in –person conversations, music, random street theatre, snail mail, anything that extends beyond the virtual to exist in our analog world. “The Rev” (for short, b/c Kitty is lazy and also does not like acronyms that don’t spell anything) is in search of articles, poems, and rants; interviews with people who make shit/make shit happen; comics, art, photography, and illustration (image-based submissions must be black-and-white copy friendly); lists which inspire people to get out and do things; instructions on how to make/do/create something; etc. WHY?  Because in an age where people’s lives become increasingly virtual, it is more important than ever to maintain a connection to the real. That is not to say that we are anti-internet. The internet is a fan-fucking-tastic tool. It is a means, though, not an end. The end is the world we live in: this analog, gritty, risky, crazy, physical, scary, beautiful, awesome world. WHERE?  Email submissions can be sent to:  kittykerosene@gmail.com – mailing address will be sent along to anyone needing to mail their submissions.  (In other words, we need to get a new P.O. Box and didn’t want to wait to do that to post this. Just send us a message and within a few days we’ll get ya that info.) WHEN?  Deadline June 30th, 2012.  If you submit and hear nothing back, then we’re swamped and likely not interested at this time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love ya. Right now, the plan is for this to be a one-off, but it may become an annual or something.  Who can say? Email any questions to the address above, please and thanks. Don’t email or comment with arguments about how the internet is great, though. We love the internet – two of us met and got married through it. Hell, we’re posting here on the internet to find like-minded people for this collaborative project. There’s nothing to convince us of when it comes to appreciation of the digital world. We just also think that there’s more to life than what comes down this crazy series of tubes. X’s and O’s to everyone who makes shit! submit

New Escapologist complete back catalogue [04 Apr 2012|04:08pm] wringham 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: submit

[03 Apr 2012|09:56pm] ramseysux 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 2 submissions| submit

Relevant To Our Interests [29 Mar 2012|06:57pm] softfruit 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! submit

New York City zine photocopy shops / Zines with bleeds [21 Mar 2012|09:16pm] telemann 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 ;) 4 submissions| submit

Dear Shane, I tried to kill myself [19 Mar 2012|01:49pm] manufacturing 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 buy me! US $6.00 USD International $7.00 USD 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! 6 submissions| submit
