Only one submission per contributor please.

Paper size: The zine will be printed on A5, and your artwork should fit within these dimensions (148 x 210mm).  We would recommend drawing bigger and then scaling down to these dimensions if you can.

Finally, we are open to submissions from any and all, but we do ask that the contributor and/or their work retain some kind of connection to the city of Bristol.

Please do come along to the King William (King Street, Bristol, UK) for 7:30pm on Tues the 5th of March to discuss the format and theme of the next issue.  We’ll make these decisions together, and in the past has always been both constructive and fun.  All are welcome, whether you’ve contributed before or not, and whether you even anticipate contributing to the next issue or not.  And if you can’t make it, please do send across an email with any ideas of format and especially theme and we will voice them on your behalf.

Bristol Comic and Zine Fair 2011 - Booked Up

We’re happy to announce that all of the table spaces for our forthcoming comic and zine fair are now booked up.  Sorry to anyone who’s missed out.

Even if you’ve not got a table, you can still bring a couple of things along to sell on the communal table.  There is no need to book space on the communal table, and nor do we take any commission; though we are happy for you to volunteer even half an hour of your time to supervise it.

Look forward to seeing you all at the event - Sunday 25th of September 2011, 12-6PM - it is gonna rock!
