jenny and the librarians.: call for submissions: zine on physical/mental illness

jennyandthelibrarians:

(PLEASE RE-BLOG):

call for submissions for a zine about the convergence of physical disability and mental illness.

if you have any form of chronic physical disability paired with a form of mental illness, this zine wants you!

people suffering from a physical ailment have a much higher rate…

Claremont Zine Fest is today!

Today, April 27th, is the Claremont Zine Fest! LAZF organizer Bianca will be tabling with Brodie Foster Hubbard of Fair Dig, a zine about jiu-jitsu (and so much more…), and selling some LAZF merch and Guides To LA. Swing by and say hello–she will have candy!

Claremont Zine Fest is from 1-5 PM at the Pitzer College Grove House (on campus) in Claremont, CA.

If we want to buy the zines which showed in your fest 2013, where in LA could be the good place to choose?

I think your best bet for finding zines from LA Zine Fest would be Skylight Books in Los Feliz. Skylight has probably the best zine section of any bookstore in LA and I saw lots of people consigning their zines there the day after the Fest! All of their zines are in the arts annex right next door to the main store.
I also recommend Meltdown Comics in Hollywood and Pop Hop in Highland Park for zines as well! Meltdown has a great section curated by JT Steiny (two time tabler at LAZF!) that features zines and comics by himself and his students at OTIS. There’s some really great stuff there. And Pop Hop is just a great used bookstore with a solid zine section AND is located in between two coffee shops. They host a lot of our zine workshops as well. What’s not to love?
And if you ever wanna check out some zines but don’t have the cash to buy them, check out the zine libraries at The Smell and Human Resources! We stock those with zines donated to us from LA Zine Fest tablers, so those libraries are great to browse when you’ve got some down time at a show!
