New zine distro in Sydney

A new zine distro is currently being set up in Sydney and they are calling for zines.

Food zines, perzines, good drawings, humorous, political and alternative zines… a bit of everything. Maybe even some kitten-related zines. So if you know those sorta kids or are those sorta kids, come into the light!

Contact susy.pow@gmail.com for more info.

We need what you’ve got

After a very successful first issue, Melbourne’s only alternative commuter zine, Story To…, is once again calling for your work.

The theme for Issue Two is “Pod People”. So many people who travel on public transport bury themselves in their music and we want you to help us show them the train station life they are oblivious to. We want to see this reflected in writing (short fiction, poetry, film and theatre scripts, creative non-fiction and song lyrics) and in artwork (photography and graphic design).

Please stick to a limit of 300 – 500 words. The closing date for submissions is Tuesday 30 September 2008. All submissions need to be emailed to storytoproject@gmail.com. Please format text as Times New Roman / size 12 font / single-space with no other formatting.

If you want to discuss your submission ideas with us, or have any general queries, then drop us an email at storytoproject@gmail.com.

Check out our first issue here and browse the rest of our website to get a feel for what we’re about.

We look forward to reading your submissions!

Volunteer opportunity at Sticky

Sticky is currently seeking people who are interested in becoming a volunteer in their Degraves Subway shop for one day per week. You don’t need to be a maths wiz nor do you need to have any retail experience, you just have to be confident with people, like zines and are a dab hand at keeping paperwork in order.

If you’re interested please email Elle at stickyshop@gmail.com or give her a call on 0421 479 153.
