Richmond's 5th Annual Zine Fest



What

Stay tuned at
http://richmondzinefest.org/ with everything you need to know about the 2011 Zine Fest. You'll find opportunities for you to get involved in buying or selling affordable self-published zines to RVA!

What’s a Zine?
From Stolen Sharpie Revolution, and pronounced like magazine without the "maga-," a Zine is an independently created publication containing anything you want it to; personal experiences and stories, political ideologies, music related writing, gardening tips, fiction, travel stories, comics, photography, or anything you like. Zines can be put together by one person or a group of people and they are usually photocopied but can also be printed offset, letter press, or mimeographed.

What’s a Zine Fest?
A Zine fest is an event where zinesters (individual sellers as well as Zine Distro owners) meet up to sell and trade zines, as well as meet other zinesters. However, please note that trading is up to each individual zinester.

A Zine fest is not a craft fair, comic book convention, or a book fair. Because zines are generally in the range of $1 to $5, you can expect to buy a lot of great reading material for a low price!
