<h2 id="what">What</h2>
|
||
<p>A zine sharing and distribution project for the fediverse.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="who">Who</h2>
|
||
<h3 id="artists-cap-of-25">Artists (cap of 25)</h3>
|
||
<p>Provide physical and/or digital zines; receive payment and physical and/or digital zines.</p>
|
||
<p>We are again testing an artist waitlist. Additional artists will be added to the pool as funds allow and to cover for drop-outs.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="backers-cap-of-25-for-physical-zines-no-cap-for-digital">Backers (cap of 25 for physical zines; no cap for digital)</h3>
|
||
<p>Provide payment; receive physical and/or digital zines.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="when">When</h2>
|
||
<p>2026/2027 dates yet to be determined. Deadline structure as follows:</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-0">Deadline 0</h3>
|
||
<p>Artist sign-up closes.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-1-deadline-0-2-weeks">Deadline 1 (deadline 0 + 2 weeks)</h3>
|
||
<p>Backer sign-up closes. Artists are informed of the number of physical zines needed.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-2-deadline-1-10-weeks">Deadline 2 (deadline 1 + 10 weeks)</h3>
|
||
<p>Art submission deadline. Digital zines are submitted to digital drive; physical zines are in the mail.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-3-deadline-2-4-weeks">Deadline 3 (deadline 2 + 4 weeks)</h3>
|
||
<p>Physical zines arrive at distributor (Lee).</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-4-deadline-3-4-weeks">Deadline 4 (deadline 3 + 4 weeks)</h3>
|
||
<p>Physical zines packaged and ready for shipment. Digital zines are organized and ready to share.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deadline-5-deadline-4-4-weeks">Deadline 5 (deadline 4 + 4 weeks)</h3>
|
||
<p>Physical zines arrive at recipients. Digital zines shared.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="where">Where</h2>
|
||
<p>Anywhere that can ship to/from the US.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="why">Why</h2>
|
||
<p>To bring folks together and share art.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="artist-information">Artist information</h2>
|
||
<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>
|
||
<p>No generative AI content is allowed.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="physical-zine-restrictions">Physical zine restrictions</h3>
|
||
<p>No larger than one of:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>21x14.9cm (a sheet of A4 paper, folded once)</li>
|
||
<li>8.5"x5.5" (a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper, folded once)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="payment">Payment</h3>
|
||
<p><strong>This is not a get-rich-quick scheme for anyone involved.</strong> In <a href="/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>
|
||
<h2 id="backer-information">Backer information</h2>
|
||
<p>Buying physical/digital or digital-only zine bundles will be done via <a href="https://ko-fi.com/inherentlee">Lee's Ko-fi shop</a>. If you've filled out the <a href="/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>
