| Queen Zine issue #1 |
[Nov. 19th, 2004|10:59 am] |
Wow!-I've had so much interest in my project. Thanks to everyone who responded. Work on issue number one is underway and I hope to have it out after chirstmas. I think all zine production slows during chrsitmas, what with the financial restrictions.
I will keep in touch with everyone who is involved with this project and I'll have your copies out as soon as its done.
For any new viewers who want to be included, just read the entry before this one for information regarding the Queen Zine compilation project. |

| Call for Submissions for Queen Zine Comp Anthology |
[Oct. 29th, 2004|03:11 pm] |
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@hotmail.com
And keep up with the zine's progress at http://www.livejournal.com/users/queenzine/

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. |

| Queen Zine Library Introduction! |
[Oct. 26th, 2004|12:16 pm] |
Queen Zine Library currently has 150 zines with many more on the way! It was created out of my own personal collection of zines but I hope that it will grow not only out of my own zine trading, but by donations of zines and zine flyers/ads.
I want to have a list of all the zines in the library which will be available in the future. As of now I am starting a QZ Newsletter which will inlcude reviews of zines found in the library as well as news about zine culture. Every zine that is reviewed will be contacted and a copy of the newsletter will be given to him or her. So send in your zines or zine flyers/ads and receive a queenzine magnet as thanks.
I also have a collection of zine resource guides on display in the library inlcuding back issues of Broken Pencil, Zines #1 and #2 by Vale, The Factsheet 5 Reader, as well as Factsheet 5 back issues. |
