The great zine give-away

Project ended successfully. 36 zines being packaged to mail to 36 people in 7 countries. Last edit: Nov. 30, 11:10 AM.

If you listen to my podcast, you'll know that November 2022 episodes are devoted to zines. I'm going to go through a bunch of the ones I've collected and give most of them away. The zines I'm parting with are listed below. If you are interested in receive one by mail (no matter where you are):

• Send the following by email 
• The subject line MUST contain = Zinevember
• Contents must include your full mailing address
• You may list of up to three choices, ranked from 1 (most desired) to 3 if you want. You will get a random zine, but I will honor preferences when/where I can. 
• You may also let me know if there are any give-away titles you already have (and don't want a second copy of).
• All emails must be sent by November 25th. You may want to wait to send your email as the list will grow and early emails will not be prioritized over later ones - I'm going to randomize the order I process them. If for some reason you want to "overwrite" an earlier email with a new one, number your email in the subject line like "Zinevember 2," and I will honor only the highest numbered email you send me.
