With a gracious thank-you to our beta testers, we're finally up and running!

www.northwestzineworks.com is finally accepting new zines and comics for consignment! With new goodies coming online most every day we're getting to be quite busy, which is a good thing :) There are still a few blank pages here and there, but overall, I'm really pleased with how the website is going, and we're ready to take on some new projects.

We're more than a distro of course, we do a lot of full-service reviews and serve as a clearing house for people wanting to contact one another. If you're an author/creator, we want to distro you or give you a review, if you're a distro, we want to link to you. Right now we've got about 80 zines in queue and hope to have those up within the next month.

- feminism and gender politics
- queer/lgbt
- anti-racism
- anti-capitalism
- environmental politics
- anti-authoritarian politics
- peace/anti-war
- dis/ability and health
- fiction and poetry
- perzines
- comix
- music zines which promote independent/underground music
- any other progressive and/or unusual topic!

At the moment we are particularly short on feminist, queer and anti-racist material, stuff on dis/ability and health and poetry and fiction.

Ideally we would like to take stuff sale or return, about 3 copies of each edition. If you want payment up front please send us a sample copy first so that we can decide whether or not we think it'll sell.

Please email me if you think we would be interested in your zine or - even better - if you run a distro which has a few zines we might be interested in. If you've already given us some of your zines and not received the money for them please drop me a line also! And I'll sort it out.

Knockengorrach festival

posted: April 28, 2006

Hi all - Just want to let you know that I will be heading up to Scotland in a few weeks to the lovely Knockengorrach festival (World Ceilidh - have a look here: http://www.knockengorroch.org.uk/ - highly recommended to come if you are free that weekend), and will be running a DIY creative space with my sister in all things handcrafted, Shaz (maker of incredibly beautiful bracers, armbands, crowns, swords, and other accoutrements befitting a warrior queen/king of old).

Shaz and I will be hosting an ongoing weekend-long zine making workshop that will result in a big old festy zine that is compiled from everyone's contributions and mailed out after the weekend is over...and in addition I will be taking various zines, comix, and independant media things (recent copies of Schnews letter etc) up there with me to make sure there is a presence of interesting, informative, and inspiring reading material.

If anyone has a zine/comic/little paper thing that you ran off at work last week when you were pretty sure no one was looking, and you'd like me to take it up there for you to distribute through the 'zine stall' bit of our DIY haven, then please get in touch asap and let me know!!

I am happy to sell them for you if you are after a bit of coin for your efforts, but of course free is also always a lovely thing to do - up to you. I can do basic bookkeeping, so no worries if you'd like to sell.

I can take maximum 20 copies of any one zine, and am open to all and any as long as your publication is of a DIY, non-sponsored, independant nature (no media studies glossy end of year project with becks logos on in, roight?)

I will be going up there on Friday 19th May, leaving at stupid o'clock in the morning, so need to have your stuff in my hands by Thurs 18th at the very latest!! If you're in Manchester we can meet up, if not, post, or if you will be at Knock (fraiser?) then come by the tent anytime and drop off your wares.

Please and thank you for your works of love and pritt stick -

Hi Grrrl Zine Network! The riffRAG issue #2 FINAL submission deadline is coming up a week! We are looking for innovative and/or political writing and art by emerging and under-represented artists around the world. If your work fits this description, we would like to feature you in our next issue.

We accept digital files. We accept small prints for our limited edition print version. We are looking for videos and performers for our upcoming release party next fall at Local Project (www.localproject.org). Submission info is below, just scroll down.

Great opportunities are abound--riffRAG has recently been spotted at Artists Space in SOHO, Jigsaw NYC, Sarah Lawrence College, and Snapshot NYC. riffRAG will also be part of a radical urban zine show at Local Project on May 13th and will be partnering with Snapshot NYC at Bar 13 for a benefit celebration on May 16th. Email riffRAG [AT] yahoo.com to receive updates about these events or bookmark our blog, located at http://www.riffrag.org/news.html.

***Please do us a HUGE favor and follow the submission guidelines. We've put a lot of time and care into mapping out exactly what's with submissions. We all have fulltime jobs and make riffRAG in our little bits of free time. Last time we received many submissions that did not include bios or artists' statements and had to hunt people down for this info. This is why we can only take *complete* submissions this time around. Your artist's statement is especially important because riffRAG emphasizes the meaning behind the art. Even if writing is not your strong point, a few sentences on your piece will be really helpful to us.

** xoxo riffRAG

posted: January 12, 2006

Hello hello, friends of Ladyfriend, We're celebrating our 10th issue by focusing on exactly what Ladyfriend is all about: female friendships. You're getting this e-mail because I've extended the deadline until February 10th, and you're invited to help make a little Ladyfriend history! As always, we're looking for a diverse range of submissions from ladyfriends and lads who like a little fun with their feminism.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKIN' FOR? This is the "ladyfriend" issue of Ladyfriend, and we're looking for interesting angles on that theme. We'd love to read your essays on scheming sisters, comics about friendship faux pas, stories about good influences gone bad...you name it. Whether you were clued in to cliques, bonded with bandmates or were recently reunited with a long lost pal, Ladyfriend wants to hear from you. Photo-essays, comics, how-tos, reviews, and activity projects are all more than welcome, too. Please pass on this call to anyone you think might be interested, and feel free to run your ideas by us first at ladyfriendzine [AT] yahoo.com .

WHEN'S IT DUE? All submissions are due by February 10th, 2006!

DETAILS AND DISCLAIMERS:
*Not all submissions can or will be included, but we'd love to have as diverse a range as possible, so send us your stuff!
*Text-based submissions should be e-mailed as microsoft word documents, and must be less than 1,000 words in length.
*All contributions are subject to our editorial scrutiny, but we'll run any big changes by you before we go to print.
*Comics, photos, illustrations, and other artwork should be either physically mailed (a good-quality copy is fine) or e-mailed as a 300-DPI jpg or gif file. Keep in mind that our page size is 8.5" high by 5.5" wide!
*Because Ladyfriend is a small-press (self-published) endeavor, we unfortunately can't pay our wonderful contributors. We can, however, send you a free copy of the issue your work is published in. We'll also send electric psychic love beams your way and will encourage hundreds of readers from all over the country to do the same. And if you're not too shy, we might ask you to read your work the next time we go on tour!
*If you have any questions or want to run your idea by us before you get started, feel free to drop us a line at ladyfriendzine [AT] yahoo.com.

Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!

the fourth issue of the zine will mostly deal with rape/sexual harassment in whatever way. but i cannot do it alone, i need your help. of course it is hard to write about the above mentioned things and most of you out there would never write or talk about it, but can we go on pretending it is not there, it doesn’t exist? no. i want to write and talk about it because –statistically speaking- every 1 out of 4 womyn in europe alone will be raped or sexually harassed during her lifetime. and i get the feeling that nobody ever talks about it and that people pretend it’s just not happening.
so if you feel like (anonymously) expressing your thoughts/ experiences/ etc., drawing something, writing a poem..., please get in touch with me. i have collected a few texts so far, incl. my own ones about a rape a few meters away from the apartment i lived in, someone making a joke about raping a deaf and blind womyn, and probably more, which will be put together to an A5 or probably A4 zine (all in english, if possible). just get in touch, communication is always much appreciated."

BirlZine! is an ongoing compilation zine of personal writing, essays, poetry, photography, art, news, and resources for and by boyish girls (birls) who enjoy riding the gender wave and don’t let their gender dictate how to act. A birl can be a hetero tomboy, an FTM, or anyone in between. This is a safe space for birls to share our work and find relevant news and resources. For more information, please visit www.birlzine.com.

BirlZine! is currently actively accepting submissions!
BirlZine! needs contributors! The reason I launched the zine is because I was astounded by all the talent I'd see in the community journal at http://www.livejournal.com/~birls. Without that talent, I've got no bricks to build with. Don't be shy--send your work in--it will inspire other birls out there, the younger ones and older ones alike! We're looking for:

* Art, comics, and photography, black-and-white only—preferably high-contrast pieces.

* Personal stories (really important), essays, fiction, plays, rants, or poetry.

* Birl-interest articles, including GLBTQ news, famous birls to watch out for, activism, how-to guides (how to make the perfect pompadour, how to bind, how to use the women’s bathroom without getting kicked out—-JEESH!), etc.

* Resources, Reviews, and Recommendations, including GLBTQ sites; book, movie, zine, magazine, and music recommendations (artists we can support!) and reviews; news about conferences and drag king shows, etc.

Upcoming BirlZine! themes will focus on drag kings, FTMs, genderqueers, body modifications, and activism. Please send your material on these themes, as well as ideas for future themes!

posted: January 10, 2005

I'm putting together a comp zine about the issue of
mothers and their daughters' appearance (weight,
looks, etc). I was inspired because I know that this
issue is still affecting me, and I know it affects a
lot of my female friends.

I hope other women and girls will be willing to write
about their own experiences from whatever angle. The
definition of "mother" and "daughter" is of course up
to you and not restricted to biological mothers and
daughters. It may be that you managed to find ways to
deal with this problem or you may feel that it is
still with you even if you mother
is far away - I'm interested in all perspectives.

Even if your mother wasn't critical of your weight or
looks I would welcome articles about any friends who
experienced this problem or viewpoints on the problem.
Pieces by mothers about how they hope to encourage
their daughters' self-esteem or daughters on how their
mothers helped them overcome body image
problems/lookism would be especially welcome.

I can of course change names or publish your
contribution anonymously if you wish.

If you're interested in contributing send
contributions to kate_galactic at rocketmail.com or
email me for postal address if you wish to send art
work.

Flipping through the newest copy of Jen Angel's The Zine Yearbook, I am aware of how great the structure is. There are no reviews, only excerpts
from exemplary zines published during a particular year (this is the 8th volume of Zine Yearbook).

I've always had a problem with reviews, particularly with me reviewing books or zines that I've enjoyed. But I like the idea of a zine in which ALL the
zines featured merely include excerpts along with contact information and information on that particular issue's contents.

So, instead of the locally based Queen Zine Newsletter, I will be expanding its perimeters to inlcude all current zines and zine culture. Every zine featured will be featured as an excerpt, along with contact and contents info.

What you can submit:

Your zine. I will feature all zines that come my way Eventually. I am not going to limit myself to choosing the "best" or limiting the zines to "my
favorites".

An article that you've written (interviews, rants, etc) about zines or zine culture. Note that these I will be more particular about. I will be looking
for thoughtfulness and effort above all.

An article about zines/zine culture that you've found and want inlcuded in this zine.

Any distro advertisements that you would like to include.

Any zine websites that you would like to inlcude.

Basically anything zine related can be submitted. Just contact me via e-mail first with a short informal proposal.

I hope to make this zine full size (8 1/2 x 11), and will send out free copies to any contributors (which include zine contributors. So, although I
will not pay for your submitted zine or its shipping, it will be for a trade for this zine when its finished.

For more info contact queenzine [AT] hotmail.com
And keep up with the zine's progress at
http://www.livejournal.com/users/queenzine/
Visit also my messageboard http://www.queenzine.com/

All zines submitted will be placed in the Queen Zine Library, located in Southern Ontario. Already there are almost two hundred zines in that collection. Thanks everyone! I'm very excited about this project.

Hey ladyfriends and friends of ladies,

Feeling a little under the weather? Let Ladyfriend zine’s HEALTH issue cure
what ails you. You’ll feel like a million bucks when you contribute to LF
#8, what with its focus on health, illness, injury, and everything in
between. As always, we’re looking for a diverse range of submissions from
ladyfriends and lads who like a little fun with their feminism. Home
remedies gone awry, gynecologist reviews, tales of injurious adventures and
medicated delusions, comics about your wierd food allergies, home birthing
how-tos, acupucture essays or photos of flesh wounds are all right by us.
Just follow the doctor’s orders and get ‘em to Ladyfriend by November 10th,
2004. If you know someone who’d add something valuable to this issue, please
feel free to pass tthis e-mail their way. Thanks!

DETAILS AND DISCLAIMERS:
1. Ladyfriend can’t include every submission that comes our way. If we can’t
fit your stuff in this time, that doesn’t mean we won’t next time. Feel free
to run your interview or article ideas by us first at
ladyfriendzine [AT] hotmail.com. If you need an extension, let us know.

2. Text should be sent as Microsoft Word or AppleWorks documents, and should
be between 300 -1,000 words in length. If we decide to use your stuff, we
may do a little editing, in which case you’ll get a chance to okay the final
version before it goes to print.

3. Be sure to tell us it’s coming: sometimes our lame hotmailbox gets full
and bounces stuff back to you. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to see it! If
you’ll be sending a large file, drop us a line so we can work out the
transfer.

4. Since we’re a small press, cut & paste kinda zine, Ladyfriend can’t pay
contributors, no matter how much we’d like to. Anybody whose work is
published gets a free copy and much love from the LF offices.

ALSO!
For those that care, you can now find photos and stories from this summer’s
zine tour adventures on Ladyfriend’s website, with more to come:

If there are any zinesters who would like to have their zine seen by many, this is a great way to get exposure. So I would be happy if you submitted your zine(s) to the library.

Also if you run a distro and would like to donate, I can put advertisements up for your distro in the youth centre to help you get business.

If you have any escess, old, or random zines lying around please help out a fellow zine lover and donate them.

If you have any questions please email me at:
tiki [AT] ididitmyway.com
of you can just send me the zines to:
Jen
11 Ascot Ct., Welland ONT
L3C 6K7, Canada

thanks. hope to hear from you soon.
~Jen

P.s. anyone who donates will receive recognition at the library unless they do not wish for it

I'm working on my zine "Wonderfluff", and I want to put together a collection of "first times". When I say first times I don't necessarily mean when you lost your virginity.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO GOOD GIRL MAGAZINE

for its ‘ isms’ issue!
August 2002

good girl is a Canadian magazine dedicated to publishing ideas that challenge, critique, and break the rules of the status quo. Showcasing young writers of all genders, colours, dimensions, persuasions, tastes, ages, and abilities, good girl magazine explores perspectives on youth, genders, politics, fads, pop culture, and feminisms.

the goods on issue #4: “ISMS ”
What do we mean by ‘isms’, and why the heck would we want to think/write/make art about them? Some of the biggies, like racism , classism, and sexism, may be the most obvious topics for this theme, but don't feel confined to writing on simply one 'ism,' or the first one that pops into your head. Why not write about places and spaces where racism meets sensationalism and romanticism? Where classism collides with journalism and hedonism? What does it mean to play with language, challenge or create new meaning, and mix up ideas in new ways? These are some of the things that we can’t wait to hear from you.

good girl wants your view:
Read any brilliant books lately? Read any terrifically bad ones? good girl magazine is always looking for reviews of books, movies, music, zines, etc.
http:// www.goodgirl.ca

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS SEPTEMBER 1st 2002.
Any and all queries should be directed to

goodgirlmagazine [AT] hotmail.com.
