A quick one today, with a request: will you send me something to put in our experimental print broadside?
It’s a single sheet newspaper to circulate locally around Seattle with Classifieds, Notices, some listings of upcoming print events, other stuff… playing with early layouts, maybe it is going to end up looking something like this?
Please send me things like:
classified advertisements
other notices
comics or illustrations
paragraph-long recommendations of a zine, book, or just something to recommend in general? (Please feel free to advertise or recommend your own work/events/stuff!)
a poem
a climate crisis thought
a photo
→ SUBMIT IT HERE ←
Deadline is this Sunday May 1st at midnight!
Thank you!

P.S. — If you’re coming to the zine popup at Drink Books on May 14th, or to Bookluck on May 15th, I will have copies to hand out there *if all goes well with the experimenting*! (Also please RSVP for Bookluck if you’re coming, so we can get headcount for supplies!)
P.P.S. — Got a few more of the zines and prints into the website. But no descriptions yet… working on a truly ridiculous Airtable formula to make it write HTML to paste into BigCartel for us, based on columns of all the publications’ metadata like size, number of pages, author(s), publisher, risograph ink(s) used, and so on. Still working on international shipping, but I think we’ve found something that will work, now to figure out how to set it up.
P.P.P.S. — There’s a new version of Spectrolite out with some new cover layouts, a bunch of subtle improvements, and a new option for how multi-page PDF exports are organized that’s nicer for single drum machines or if you’re printing from the scanner bed. Thanks to Marnicq at SO-RI for that suggestion… you can find it in Preferences.
Ok, bye for real! Send me something please!
