Zine Making
May 24, 2003
I'm starting to get kind of psyched about this zine workshop today. At first, I kind of felt like "What the fuck do I have to offer?" I haven't published a zine in about 3 or 4 years now, and I'm totally not hip to what's current in ziney-ness.
But today, while I'm hurriedly gathering things, and lovingly sifting through box after box of zines dating back to 1985...and looking at websites about how to make zine...and thinking about what to tell people about the art of zining...I'm feeling like there's no way to cram it all into an hour. There's just so much to tell people.
So I'm kind of considering writing an essay or maybe even doing a zine about how to make zines and the history of zines. Perhaps, if it's a zine, it can be multi-part (which would probably be more amenable to the limits on my time - I could focus on one topic at a time, cite examples, and give a bit of history of the zines that fall under that topic.) But I don't want to do this if the "market" is already way saturated with that kind of thing. Would anyone out there be interested in reading something like this?

The market is saturated with those...but no GOOD ones. I think you should do it because at least from your blog writing, you always offer an interesting perspective, and wouldn't sound full of yourself like some authors who've done this have. Do you have any back issues of your zine? I'd love to see one. Maybe we can trade or something.
Yeah...I have some back issues, and some old poetry chapbooks available for trade or for sale. Here's a link to the old oyster publications site (I know it's really ugly, but it was my first-ever foray into websiteness, and I used microsoft word, I think.)
I'll have to think more about the zine about zines thing. There are tons of resources on the internet, and I don't want to circulate any extra paper if I don't need to. Perhaps I'm just feeling deflated because I was all psyched about the zine workshop and I had to spend the entire thing in the hallway supervising my overly-hyper children. *sigh*
