The Whizzbanger Guide to Zine Distributors

zine, March 2002, 36 pgs., 1 / y r , $4.00/issue (U.S. cash only), Shannon Colebank, P.O. Box 5591, Portland, OR, 97228

A lot of us on the left publish zines, pamphlets, chapbooks and other material that we try hard to get into the hands of others. This is a reliable source of information about the people who work hard to get their alternative info out as effectively as possible through mail, relationships with bookshops and libraries, and other ways. It also has reviews of small press, zines and review publications. That describes about 2/3rd of the publication. Just over l/3rd is a look at other publications by Shannon – including excerpts from poetry collections, extracts from reviews and outlines of the contents of her other zines/newsletters. The first 2/3rds is essential for small/alternative press publishers. The latter 1/3 is interesting. I’ve never seen a publisher devote so much attention to her own work as well as work so hard to get the word out about other people’s endeavours. It strikes me as an unique experiment. (Brian Burch)

  1. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew
    of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  2. Definitely believe that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the internet
    the easiest factor to understand of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as
    other people think about issues that they just
    don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out
    the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
