i like zines and so should you! Reviews and news of zines, magazines and independent publications from the owner of Pushpin Zine distro.
WOOTINI! is a new science fiction orientated zine from graphic designer Arron Worsley. The first issue features full colour articles on potentially-habitable planets for Humans, Germany’s planned invasion of Great Britain during the Second World War, and a fold-out guide to the opening two-part miniseries of Battlestar Galactica.
Wish Magazine is up for pre-order. I’m looking forward to my copy, and not just because my products are featured in it!
Wish is full of what matters in life: charm, love and nostalgia, without the usual advertisements and mindless ramblings found in most modern magazines. It features illustration, lifestyle, travel, music and interview along with fashion and shopping ideas with sensible prices, all presented in a perfectly pretty way.

I love Japanese fashion magazine Zipper, which I first picked up on my trip to Japan in 2006. It’s insanely expensive outside of Japan, so I only buy it very rarely. Luckily, there’s always so much inspiration inside it keeps me going for years. I love the crazy outfits, the awesome page design, the typography and the street snaps. I don’t like how badly it makes me want to go back to Japan.
sleeping on the sleeper
after three trips, two months & lots of drawing, my sleeping on the sleeper trilogy of zines are now on sale! so happy & pleased to finally have these all printed & bound. apart from a couple of images, none of these illustrations can be found anywhere else. so if you fancy reading about my various trips to london, brighton & maastrict, head on over to the shop. you can either buy them individually or get all three for the price of two. what a steal!
Lots of great tips here.
This is not an exhaustive list, however I’ve tried to bring together some of the strongest themes from the zinester interview series on my blog (which asks, amongst other things, what tips the zinester has for anyone thinking of making a zine) with my own experiences. I am by no means…

My newest zine is up for sale - Oddments #4 is the Book Issue and has stuff on my favourite bookshops for old and independent books, some of my favourite book finds and tales from the visitor book we kept in our flat when bands used to stay over. Plus, for fun, there’s a pull out colour mini zine in the middle all about my Day in the Life which includes outfit drawings, doodles of everything I ate and my word of the day! I hope you like it.
You can also buy a copy in person at the Glasgow International Artists Bookfair at the Royal Concert Hall this weekend. Look out for Pushpin Zines at table 15 near the Buchanan Street entrance. I’ll have some special offers and a box full of bargain secondhand zines!

dotdotdash are looking for submissions for a zine collaboration project called Fingerprint.
What is Fingerprint?
Fingerprint will take the place of our usual submissions process. Rather than submitting creative writing or art to the magazine, you are invited to submit a zine of your own making. Each copy of Fingerprint, instead of a magazine, will be a package filled with a unique combination of zines.
