Hello again! As you have hopefully noticed, we’ve tidied up the blog a bit today by updating the links section and setting up our own Facebook page! If you’re on Facebook, go over and ‘like’ us; you’ll be notified every time we update the blog, and make us all feel very loved. :) On the topic of links, don’t forget that we’re still looking for people to trade with! Take a look at our link exchange guidelines here. Also, we’re still looking for writers – more info here.
Enjoy the news and we’ll see you soon!

5. A.O.B.- Don't forget that July is International Zine Month! To celebrate, you could make a 24-hour zine, throw a cake-and-zines party, a big zine sale, or just spend this week's earnings entirely on zines (what do you mean, you do that already?)!
- A few people have written about last month's Zine Fest @ The Women’s Library, including Feminist Memory, Miss Tukru, and Ingrid. Ingrid also posted a lovely photo of Caitlin and I looking after Lizzy’s Marching Stars stall:
