Please can you introduce yourself?
With general introductions it could take too long to really explain myself. Personal histories can be really funny and sometimes really traumatic but I’ll try to tell you the funny part of the story.

Zine Fest! 2011 at Women's Library, London

Teaser Image: 

(Blurb by Red Chidgey, organiser of Zine Fest! 2011)...

Zines are hand-made magazines made for love not money. Requiring few resources to self-publish - just a pen, a piece of paper, access to a photocopier - zines are made on the fringes of journalism, art systems, activist scenes, and bedroom cultures. Basically, they rock.

We're super happy to confirm the 4th Zine Fest! to be happening at The Women's Library, London.
The Women's Library has a growing zine collection, covering the 1970s to now, which was first donated by the Ladyfest London 2001 collective.
