Offers hundreds of educational and radical zines to prisoners and others for free or a donation.

Mission Statement

Syndicated Zine Reviews exists to facilitate connecting zine writers, artists, and publishers with potential audiences. We believe freedom of expression is the cornerstone of a free society.

In addition to reading and reviewing zines, we reprint from other sources, and gladly accept submissions. There is a variation (lack of consistency) in how information is presented, and a varying degree of objectivity. That's fine with us; we ascribe to a clearinghouse mentality in the belief that consumers benefit more from lots of choices, and are smart enough to take opinions in stride while making up their own minds.

We diligently try to credit our sources on everything, especially all the stuff we steal. If we have overlooked something please let us know.

We need info and updates on all things zines related: distributors, bookstores, libraries, conferences, web sites, free speech, etc.

We welcome (solicit) participation. It is our vision this become an open-source, anti-authoritarian, non-hierarchal project that pretty much runs itself. (we can't stress this enough - ANYONE can reviews zines!) This is more an exercise in practicality and sustainability than an opera of idealism. The evolution and transition of media from print to web has left the zine community scrambling to adjust. Our intention is to help connect the dots.

I started publishing my own comics anthology [Sick Puppy Comix] back in 1996. It wasn't only full of depraved comix from Australia, USA, Canada, and the Netherlands, but a big comix and zine reviews section. I loved writing about this stuff as much as I loved creating it and trading it with others through the mail.

Anyway, thirteen issues of Sick Puppy later I felt burnt out on zines so took a five year break, then came back in 2008 with a new 'themed' comix anthology, Blackguard. The first issue was the Religious Crazies issue. Then came the Father issue, then Crime, then Fear, then Science. Blackguard is on hold right now since I began in 2013 [along with comics pal David Puckeridge] these what we called 'Diary Comics Challenges'.

The whole time, of course, I've written about zines. And I love to drink beer. I love to drink beer and review comics and zines!

If you'd like me to write about YOURS, send it to me here:

Zine maker, apartment dweller, writer, reader, feminist, and good listener.

I read a lot of zines, I have things to say about them, and I have a scanner for covers. So send me any zines you'd like to for review. Except for music zines, that is. Poetry? Sure! Queer? Absolutely. Perzine? Yes, please. Mental health zine? Extra-special yes. Cookzines? Yes, though I won't make the recipes unless they're vegan. Any other kind of zine? I think so. Just no music zines, please.

Email me for my mailing address at robotmad (gmail).

JL Corbett

My name is JL Corbett, and I’m a science-fiction writer from Hull, East Yorkshire. I’m also a woman.

I love writing about aliens and oddities. My short story The Harbinger has both of these things, and was published by Storgy magazine earlier this year. I have a soft spot for short stories; some of my favourites are by Neil Gaiman, Isaac Asimov and Roald Dahl (I know that last one sounds a bit off – just trust me, and read them).

I’m also the editor of Idle Ink, a collaborative zine which focuses on work from new artists and writers. Copies can be bought from our Etsy store or from zine fairs throughout the north of England.

I enjoy reading zines of every type – so whatever you’ve got, send it my way! Contact me at j.l.corbett@outlook.com and I’ll reply with my postal address.  You can also find me on twitter. 

Tuesday

I like looking at primarily visual zines

Nathan Penlington

Writer, performer and obsessive.

I’ve performed my work around the UK, Europe and in the US and Australia. My last show Choose Your Own Documentary  was a live interactive documentary in which the audience gets to vote what happens next. The show won a Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh fringe, and in 2014 I was lucky enough to be asked to perform at Tribeca Film Festival, New York, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Antenna Documentary Film Festival in Sydney. The Boy in the Book, my first work of non-fiction, was published by Headline in May 2014. An attempt at exhausting a place in London, a collaboration with writer Sarah Lester, and a homage to the work of Georges Perec, was published by Burning Eye Books in October 2015.

I’m a lifelong zine fan and maker. So I’m interested in reviewing anything you’ve got: perzines, comics, fiction, factual, art, illustration, poetry. Whatever you’ve made - send it my way!

I've been writing zines for two years now but I've been writing since about the 6th grade. I enjoy perzines because I like being inside other people's heads and seeing how they experience the world. If you send me a perzine that is brutally honest and real, I promise I will enjoy it. Also, anything involving mental health, humor, DIY, comics, and any silliness, nonsense, or whimsy, would be of interest to me.

Nita / Fluxxii Mental Health Distro

Why mental health? We choose to distribute zines about mental health because we want people who are struggling to realize that they are not alone. For those who are going through personal hardships, zines are a good medium to help you connect and heal. If you know someone who is struggling, reading these works can help you understand and help.

Everyone has problems with their mental health at some point in their lives, yet we live in a society that places stigma on the issue and rarely discusses it freely. We would not be able to properly care for ourselves and our loved ones if we didn't truly understand the subject and feel comfortable about it - that's what we're trying to do here. Our goal is to connect people to the resources that they need, encourage people to make their well-being a priority, and remind them that they are never alone.
