<p><strong>Zines do not have to be newly created for this event.</strong> You may absolutely share zines you have previously created. However, please do not share zines that are already freely available in the same format - we want the backers to get a good deal.</p>
<p>Please feel free to share or sell your zine outside of FediZineFest after the event ends.</p>
<p>While you may submit more than one zine, I ask that you limit <strong>physical</strong> zine submissions to only the number of zines requested (this may all be one zine, half one/half another, or some other combination). This is to ensure that shipping doesn’t become too unreasonable (for you <em>or</em> me).</p>
<p>It is gently suggested, but not required, that zines be at least somewhat accessible to an English-speaking audience.</p>

<h3id="payment">Payment</h3>
<p><strong>This is not a get-rich-quick scheme for anyone involved.</strong> In <ahref="/years/2025">2025</a>, the artist payout was between USD95 and USD135 per artist.</p>
<p>Last year, I adjusted the payment scheme to more appropriately compensate physical zine artists for the costs of printing and shipping. I'll do this again this year. Exact payouts won't be determined until zines are collected to account for any artist drop outs.</p>
<p>Payment will be done over PayPal or Venmo. <strong>If you cannot use either of these services, you must talk to Lee before signing up as an artist.</strong></p>
<p>First, let's talk basic structure. As an artist, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>receive pay</strong> by giving me Venmo or PayPal information when you sign up
<ul>
<li>You'll receive a small boost to your payout by opting out of receiving physical zines</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>waive pay</strong> by choosing to opt out of payment when you sign up</li>
<li><strong>pay in</strong> by being a backer in addition to being an artist
<ul>
<li>If you are a physical zine backer <em>and</em> artist, please choose to opt out of receiving physical zines unless you specifically want two bundles. I will probably still reach out to explicitly confirm your preference to account for any confusion in filling out forms.</li>
</ul>

<p>Last year, I adjusted the payment scheme to more appropriately compensate physical zine artists for the costs of printing and shipping. Artists who opted out of receiving physical zines also received a small bump in pay. I'll do this again this year. Exact payouts won't be determined until zines are collected to account for any artist drop outs.</p>
<p>Payment will be done over Venmo or PayPal. <strong>If you cannot use either of these services, you must talk to Lee before signing up as an artist.</strong></p>
<p>Buying physical/digital or digital-only zine bundles will be done via <ahref="https://ko-fi.com/inherentlee">Lee's Ko-fi shop</a>. If you've filled out the <ahref="/signup#interest-in-2026-2027">interest form</a>, you'll get an email when bundle purchasing goes live. Otherwise, monitor the #fediZineFest and/or #fediZineFest2026 hashtags on the fediverse.</p>
