Margate Zine Club

I moved house last week back to back with coming back from Germany, and am exhausted, but here I am organ­ising events. A little zine meet up in a lovely local cafe/​record shop/​yoga studio- plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Free entry, and step-free, but sadly no disabled toilet (the toilets are upstairs).

August Zines-25% off

I’m back in the UK until Weds, and able to send out zines again. However I can only do the small selec­tion I have already prin­ted up- new print runs will have to wait until my perman­ent return in Septem­ber. With a bonus 25% off. Here’s what I’ve got:

Zine orders close for summer 21st May

I’m going to be away a lot over the summer, so I’ll be clos­ing my online shop down (until prob­ably Septem­ber) next Wednes­day the 21st of May at 3pm GMT. This means that if you want some zines you need to order this week or wait sever­al months. It also means I can only really do trades with­in the UK. As well as zines I’ve also got vari­ous badges, patches, prints, lengths of vintage ribbon etc. You can find the shop here. There are also whole­sale prices avail­able for distros.

Zine cata­logue

I have updated and created an online cata­logue of my zine projects- both the current ones, and the out of print ones. It can be found at http://www.ynfytyn.co.uk. If you have ever wondered why my zine is called that, you can also find out here.

The Best of Fanzine Ynfytyn 1-13

I’ve been doing my zine for around 10 years now. I’ve got a lot of back issues that are no longer in print for vari­ous reas­ons. I didn’t want to reprint the whole issues, but it seemed a shame to have them completely languish­ing in a folder, so I’ve made a compil­a­tion issue with articles from the first 13 issues. 40 pages, 30 articles, 12000 words for £3.50

Hello again

So I haven’t updated here for over a month, and updates have been thin on the ground all year. That’s mainly because I spent most of Janu­ary and Febru­ary work­ing in Austria, most of March in Japan without a computer, and have been busy since I returned just over a week ago.

Zines! Zines! Zines!

I return to the UK from Austria for just under a week this week­end, so I’ve re-opened my online shop for zine orders until Tues­day the 7th of March. All orders will be sent out by Weds the 8th of March. The shop then closes again while I’m in Japan, until further notice, so this is your chance. All prices include UK post­age. Inter­na­tion­al post­age is extra, and auto­mat­ic­ally calcu­lated by weight.

Roll up, roll up

I’ve been very busy this week. On Wednes­day I moved all my stuff out of London and into stor­age until the end of May, and visited my dad, then took the train up to Shef­field to see friends and table at the Shef­field Zine Fest. I had a great time, but I was exhausted and fell asleep at 7pm on Saturday! I’m going back to York­shire this week­end for a friend’s wedding, and then Italy the follow­ing week (ridicu­lously, it was cheap­er to go on holi­day to Lake Garda, hardly the cheapest region of Italy, than it was to extend my tenancy a week in London. Let that one sink in… ). When I come back towards the end of May, I’ll then go to Sussex to house-sit for the summer.

How I Make my Zines

This is how I person­ally make my zines. There’s no right or wrong way (aside from doing things like acci­dent­ally making it unread­able once photo­copied or forget­ting about your margins and cutting off half the text). If you want a more in-depth guide to all things zine-related, I can recom­mend Stolen Sharpie Revolu­tion. You can see all the back issues of my zines on my website.
