Artist Guidelines

Zines do not have to be newly created for this event. 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.

Please feel free to continue to share or sell your zine outside of FediZineFest.

While you may submit more than one zine, I ask that you limit physical zine submissions to one zine. This is to ensure that shipping doesn’t become too unreasonable (for you OR me).

Physical zine restrictions

No larger than one of:

• 21x14.9cm (a sheet of A4 paper, folded once)
• 8.5"x5.5" (a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper, folded once)

Payment

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme for anyone involved. In 2024, the artist payout was about $35 USD per artist.

This year, I'll be adjusting the payment scheme to more appropriately compensate physical zine artists for the costs of printing and shipping. Exact payouts won't be determined until zines are collected to account for any artist drop outs.

Payment will be done over PayPal and Venmo.
