You’ve just made an amazing new zine, if you do say so yourself (and you really should!), now what do you do? How do you begin promoting it, getting readers and all that fame and fortune you’re (secretly, modestly) expecting?

Try Broken Pencil. It’s the Canadian zine about zines, underground culture, and independent arts type stuff. You can subscribe or get a copy to test drive. Mainly, you can get your great new zine reviewed and listed in an upcoming issue of the magazine. It is a print magazine, available in Chapters and other bookstores. Though it’s located in Canada, Broken Pencil reviews and lists zines and ezines from around the world.

If you are in Toronto or Vancouver (or somewhere close enough) have a look at CanZine, the zine fair and festival. Taking place October 16th in Vancouver and October 30th in Toronto, free admission. Bring your own Zine: BYOZ.
