Another Subculture’s LOCK DOWN ZINE SWAP – MAKE A ZINE THIS NOVEMBER

For the second English Lockdown, we’re setting up a one page, mail-order zine swap for November.

Create a zine that’ll fit on one page of A4 paper (either single or double sided), email it to us and you will receive a copy of every submitted page in the post next month. The only way to receive this package is by sending us your own zine.

(Based on the Dusty Digest swap that Alternative Strategies #3 was made for in October – we wanted to see what a UK trade would turn out to be, and getting a pile of new zines is highly recommended.)

Here are the rules:

1. Your zine can be about anything you like. It can be new or existing, words or pictures – anything that’s fit to print. (Submissions will be printed on one page of A4, black and white, probably on an inkjet or laser printer, so bear that in mind. Single sided, double sided, or designed to be folded up all work!)
2. Send your zine using the form below. Your zine must be formatted as a PDF or high resolution PNG/TIFF/PSD document. If you want to make your zine by hand and do not have access to a scanner, you can post the finished page to us and we’ll scan it, return and refund your postage – email us for this option!
3. You must also give your postal address below in order to receive your zines in December. If you live outside the UK, we will send you a PayPal request to cover postage and packing (£2.50 in Europe, £4 beyond).

Deadline for submissions is Monday 30th November 2020 at 11:59pm BST. Looking forward to what you’ve got in store…

ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES #3 OUT NOW

Meanwhile. Alternative Strategies #3 is out now, a bridge between lockdowns. As a contribution to the Dusty Digest one-page zine trade, editor Ben writes “KICK YOUR TELLY IN”, or 2,000 words on punk and punks on British television. One sheet of A4 risographed in green on blue, with thanks to the DIY Space for London Print Collective. £1.50 postpaid in the UK, buy here.

The next newsletters are being gathered and written for the end of 2020. Subscriptions are available and the Patreon supports printing costs and general morale. Another Subculture will return when the gigs… return?
