Zines are hand-made magazines made for love not money. Requiring few resources to self-publish - just a pen, a piece of paper, and a photocopier - zines are produced on any number of topics and showcase culturally innovative writing and art.

To promote the Women's Library Zine Collection (which collects women's zines and comics from the 1970s to the present day) we put on a one-day zine fest on Saturday 12th May 2007, organised by zine creator and promoter Red Chidgey.

Focusing on the rise of the "girl-zine movement", this day showcased women's involvement in radical print cultures and introduced lots more people to the wonderful, addictive world of zines!

The programme include zine-making and book-binding workshops, tours of the library, performance and zine readings, stalls, film, exhibitions and a women's radical self-publishing panel.
