A reminder that submissions are always open and how to go about it!
I also wanted to highlight some topics/themes that I'd love for Andromeda Zines to have more of. Of course other submissions are very much encouraged but I thought one way to fill the gaps would be to ask!
Topics/themes I'm interested in include trans feminine experiences, punk scenes, DIY skills/culture, racism/race theory, work by global majority, disability, anarchism, environmentalism and pop culture.The list is actually much longer than what I provided here but I thought it best to keep it as a reasonable chunk. If you make any work on any of these themes or know someone who does consider submitting or sharing the opportunity!

Andromeda Zines has been running for almost a year and I've never introduced myself! An oversight I thought best to fix with an introduction post!
I'm a queer and neurodivergent femme with a passion for self-publishing. Hopefully these little images can give you a small insight into the person behind the distro!

I'm in adoration of this photo taken by @scolesphoto from my time at @midlandsmakers on Saturday. I think my helper really managed to steal the show in this one!
It was so wonderful to meet many new faces and see some familiar ones ❤️

New Blog Post!
I've attended a lot of Zine Fairs over the years, mostly as a stall holder, and in that time I've come to notice a few types of visitors. Some of these visitors I adore and others may not be so loved but all are part of the experience.
If you want to give it a read go to the link in my bio @andromedazines to find it!

An official post to let you know I have two confirmed market appearances in May so far!
On the 16th May I'll have a stall at @midlandsmakers at @lcbdepot . Which I'm incredibly excited for, I've attended as a customer many times before and it's always had such an amazing variety of talented makers in attendance.
On the 23rd and 24th May I'll be all the way up Glasgow for Glasgow Zine Fest (ran by @glasgowzinelib ) for the very first time! Attending has been on my zine bucket list for years.
Can't wait to see familiar faces and meet new ones!
