We love zines!
We love making them, we love reading them we also love talking about them....
This was the time I was talking about making zines, the zine community and more for Emily Steele's mini documentary (along with a bunch of other rad babes)
The start of this month my friend Em, who I make Poor Lass with, got to do readings from issues of Poor Lass for the zine 'stage' at Sounds From The Other city, curated by Salford Zine Library
Speaking of Salford Zine Library, here is 1/4 of SZL and top banana, Steve talking about zines on Radio 6 Music

Bank Holiday zine weekender...
Last Bank holiday weekend it was my birthday, it was also a weekend of fun, hangtimes and zining!!
It kicked off at Sheffield zine fest on the Saturday.
Sheffield Zine Fests is one of my favourites, it always has a nice atmosphere and I get to see a load of my favourite people at once!
It was also the debut of the My Mad Fat Zine (a zine about My Mad Fat Diary) that I made with my long time zine pal Holly, it's the first zine we've made together since 2001!!!
It was a sell out!
(some copies still left here though!)
Then back to Manchester for birthday pizza and 90s dancing.
The zine theme continued on Sunday.
As part of Sounds From The Other City, Salford Zine Library took over the Deli Lama café for some zine readings. Steve from SZL started the day off with a reading from his Lil Rem Stadt zine (which was so good).
Em and myself read pieces we contributed to Poor Lass zine and Holly read from her Bruce and my Dad zine.
Then we hot footed it to a church to watch Tacocat followed by a run over the road to see Martha in a warehouse!
A quick band practice then topped off with a late night roast dinner down Toby Carvery.
An awesome birthday weekend!

Springtime zine time
Zine season is upon us and to get things started we are tabling at one of our favourite zine fairs,
Sheffield Zine Fest.
This one is on Saturday 30th April 11-4pm (and is the day before my birthday)
It's a bit of a double trouble zine weekend as on my actual birthday, I am doing a reading as part of Poor Lass for Salford Zine Library's 'stage' at Sounds From The Other City, on Sunday 1st May.
Get to dance to Tacocat and Martha too, best birthday ever.
I am likely to be accepting payments of cake* for zines in Sheffield!
*I like a nice lemon drizzle or sticky ginger cake, fruits, nuts and flowers welcome (hello pistachio and rose!!!)
just not chocolate.
