About Me

Sweet Candy Distro opened in the spring of 2004 as an online distro filled with handmade items and a great variety of zines. We have grown tremendously since opening day and in 2006 we expanded & formed a zine library + alternative arts center in South Philadelphia.
After having a successful year in Philly and being voted "Punkest Zine Library" in Philadelphia for 2006, Sage is back in Georgia and working harder than ever on Sweet Candy.
Sage has organized the zine library into a system where some of the zines from the collection are also available to be checked out online!
Sweet Candy stocks zines + books of all subject matter, paper products, handmade jewelry, indie music + films, artwork, cloth pads, 1" buttons and a ton more!
Submission guidelines can be found online. I do NOT accept anything racist, homophobic, heterophobic, no girl or size hate either. http://www.eyecandyzine.com *****Sage, who runs the distro, writes the zines Tattooed Memoirs, Hard Knox, Marked For Life and is editor of the compilation zine Eye Candy. She is also on staff at CROQ zine. You'll find Sweet Candy Distro tabling at events, sponsoring great things and continuing to add excitement to the zine and diy community. We thank you for your continued support.Above is Sage - founder of Sweet Candy Distro
