========================================
::::finally....launch for NAILBITER 2!!! ::::

stop by the toronto zine library between 1-3pm to

-pick up your copy of Nailbiter 1 + 2
-enjoy cupcakes, tea, rootbeer floats and other delights
-check out artwork from the zine
-listen to some live music we're proud to present the second nailbiter, full of anxious stories,art, comics and more.

Anxiety can be a shame and fear that we hide away in our secretchests. One of the reasons we started this project in the first placewas to chip away at the isolation that many of us have internalized.This zine is a testament to the courage it takes to put our storiesout there. We wanted to share out anxious bowels, sleepless nights,how we keep it together, how we lost it, things that make us anxious,things that make us feel safe, intersections of other mental/healthproblems, coming-of-age anxiety, date anxiety, embarrassing moments,symptoms of support, harm reduction, resources, how we did ourselvesproud, and the heroics of making it!!!!!!!!!

ghost pine anthology! book launch tomorrow night!

hey folks,

long time zine maker jeff miller has a book coming out on invisible publishing called GHOST PINE: ALL STORIES TRUE. come celebrate at the gladstone hotel tomorrow night.

JEFF MILLER – GHOST PINE: ALL STORIES TRUE
In thirteen years of publishing the influential zine Ghost Pine, author and editor Jeff Miller did not stray from its motto: “All Stories True.” Despite this, readers frequently claimed that his autobiographical stories were far-fetched. At the launch of his eagerly awaited collection, Ghost Pine: All Stories True (Invisible Publishing), Miller will take the stage to discuss the history of the zine and do some fact-checking. Presenting photographs, letters and audio cassettes from his archives in conjunction with his stories, he will light-heartedly play with truth and memory, fact and representation. Marc Glassman, Executive Director of This Is Not A Reading Series (TINARS) will host the evening. – A TINARS event presented with Invisible Publishing, Gladstone Hotel, NOW Magazine, Torontoist.com, and Take Five On CIUT.
Gladstone Hotel 2nd Floor Gallery, 1214 Queen St West
Wed April 14; 7:30 pm (Doors Open 7pm) $5 (Free with Book Purchase)

Make a zine! workshop

Make a Zine!

A Workshop for Beginners

Facilitated By Tara Bursey



Thursday, April 15, 7:00-9:30pm

Explore the zine medium and self-publishing by learning the roots of the zine, looking at examples of zines from the past and the present, and discussing local zine resources such as zine libraries, annual zine fairs, and methods of distribution. For the last half of the workshop, attendees will make their own fast-and-furious 8 page mini-zine, and will get advice on format, construction, and production. Materials will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own writing implements and collage materials.
