#mwpzf2020

We're you thinking of writing a perzine but didn't know where to start start? Stolen Sharpie Revolution: a DIY Resource for Zines and Zine Culture by me, Alex Wrekk is a great place to begin! Now it it's 6th printing and available in paperback ($10) and new hardcover ($15) at @pbwzinedistro and links in my bio. #zinestergram #mwpzf2020 #stolensharpierevolution #alexwrekk #perzines https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLiIYjhKzM/?igshid=100v4se9h9em

I made a thing! I was supposed to help organize the very first Midwest Perzine Fest in Chicago this year, but that's not happening. Instead I'm helping with the event online and I made this flyer for it. Wanna know how to attend? Follow @midwestperzinefest to find out about our perzine panel, make or read perzines, and post and tag your perzines or your favorite perzines with #mwpzf2020 easy peasy! No table applications, no need to travel! Just add to and browse the hash tag as if you are browsing tables on October 10th! Perzine means personal zine. Personal zines only please! Let us have our space and leave your comics, art zines, poetry, fiction, photo, and others things that are not perzines out of our hash tag. #zinestergram #zinesofig #perzines #zinelife #zines #perzine https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdKUvVBiYu/?igshid=jzsgnngqtd4g

Today is the 1st ever @midwestperzinefest a zine fest highlighting perzines and I thought people would like to know about my favorite genre of zines: perzines! What are perzines? Perzine is a genre of zine. It is short for "personal zine" and is often a self identified term used by zinesters to describe their zines written about their own personal thoughts, stories, or experiences and can be of a confessional nature.  #perzines #perzine #zinestergram #zines #zinesofig #zinesofinstagram #selfpublished #fanzines #MWPZF2020 #midwestperzinefest #mwpzf https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK3DFgBGMr/?igshid=1x29v5sn6qs4j

HAPPY MIDWEST PERZINE FEST DAY! I don't know why I hadn't added this set of my zines to the @pbwzinedistro shop until now! These 5 zines are usually $10 but are now $8. -Brainscan 21 -Brainscan 25 -Brainscan 26 -Brainscan 27 -I Never Thought The Story of My Life Would Be A Legal Drama (I was sued for defamation for writing these zines and someday I'll write a zine about it but for now, this zine is the opinion written by the judge who ruled in my favor) Available here: https://portlandbuttonworks.com/Brainscan-Pack-of-5 #perzines #zinestergram #zinesofig #zinesofinstagram #MWPZF2020 #mwpzf https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLAMrdBl6_/?igshid=xyci36fgw856

Today's #mwpzf2020! With the scourge of Covid, it's digital so don't hesitate to share your #zines or live of Zines! I have a great deal of love & respect for @midwestperzinefest and all they do. I mostly do comic work so it was quite an honor to have straight up writing included in their Personally Yours #zine. All of my work while not being #perzines per se do mingle well with the format/genre as they do pull from my personal life story in some form or another. I look forward to doing more perzines in the future! #Zinefest #Zinester #artistsofinstagram #ZineMaker #MakingComics #artistlife #indiepublishing #PersonallyYoursZine https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKwifsBD5B/?igshid=1gyp0q0patrr
