I’m one of the organizers for Pikes Peak Zine Fest, Colorado Springs area’s new small-press event!
Join us on your favorite online platform on October 2 - 4, 2020!
CO Zinesters: Check out our list of local Colorado artists that we’ll be featuring on our social media feed posts and here on our website for FREE! Fill out our online form by Wednesday 9/30 to have your work promoted this coming weekend (Oct 2-4).
#PPZF2020: If you’re a zinester anywhere else, feel free to join in by tagging your zine posts with #PPZF2020 any time this weekend (Oct 2-4), and we’ll share your post to our stories! Let people know what kind of zines you have and where they can buy/view your work!
Zine Swap: We’ll be doing a zine swap through the mail, so send us some zines to get some new ones in return!
Rules for Zine Swap:
10 zines max (can be the same or all different).
We must receive zines by Oct 23, and will be mailing out your return package by Oct 30.
Zines must easily fit in in a 9 x 12 in. (~22 x 30 cm.) envelope.- Include return postage for your package. We’ll be trying to reuse the original packaging you send us. Let us know if you’d prefer to just send us a payment for the return postage via PayPal/CashApp/Venmo instead.
Shoot us a DM on social media or Email (pikespeakzinefest@gmail.com) with the quantity of zines you are sending so we may expect your package.
We are definitely open to international participants, but please keep in mind shipping delays, and that it needs to reach us by Oct 23.
Mail your zines to:
