About the London Zine Symposium

The London Zine Symposium is a annual event where people interested in zine culture can get together, buy or sell zines, meet up and share ideas. It aims to bring people together and help to strengthen the DIY zine scene.

FAQ's

What's a zines?

A zine is a self-made, independent publication that has been produced on whatever subject the writer/s is/are enthusiastic and passionate about, be it music, art, craft, activism, their personal thoughts and rants or whatever else comes into a writer's mind.

Can I have a stall?

Due to space limitations we tend to only have space for people to have stalls if they have more than one zine to sell/give out on the day, so people with distros or several back issues are welcome to get in touch to arrange to have a stall. For people who may only have one issue of their own zine to sell it's easier if you put it on the 'Individual Zine Rocks' table which we will look after during the day for you.

My Interests

Zines, punk rock, crafts, reading, writing, Last Hours zine (http://www.lasthours.org.uk), DIY culture, feminism, politics, eco-defence, infoshops, autonomous social centres, Ladyfest London, London Zine Symposium, art, comics, kittens, human and animal liberation, and vegan sweets!
