Publishing your own magazine is romantic,exciting... and bloody hard work. Sure, doing it yourself gives you control,but with that comes all the pressure of deadlines, distribution and marketing -especially when you're relying on a pile of copies left in the corner of a cafe or comic shop.
But, wait!
If you're part of a society like Indy&Ink, life becomes easier. You can share equipment, skills, experience, advice, and even work on each other's mags. Not to mention the feeling of support and solidarity that comes with meeting other self-publishers, whether they're producing 50,000 copies for national distribution or knocking out a few dozen on a photocopier.
We aim to help each other in a collective effort, with regular seminars, a free exchange in cyber-space and the accumulated knowledge formed on dozens of titles. We want Indy&Ink to be a call to arms! A society is stronger than the sum of its members, and Indy&Ink is a rallying point to get together and help each other out. Why struggle on alone when there's help available and you can put that effort into production. Joining us will help you stay independent!
So Join us! Stand with the independent legion, ready to assault the sullied ranks of the coporations and the bland sheen of the mainstream!
What's more, printing short runs is expensive and you don't have the opportunity to bulk buy. Days merge together in the obsession to get the layout just right. And when confronted by a technical problem, you don't have the specialists to call on.
