Octapod

Here's a listing about the Octapod Zine Library, and a brief blurb:

The Octapod Zine Library
The Octapod Association
3/231 King St
NEWCASTLE NSW 2300
Australia
podadmin@octapod.org
Tel: (02)) 4927 0470
Fax: (02) 4927 1475

Based at the Octapod Association in Newcastle, the Octapod Zine Library is one
of Australia's oldest, largest and most significant collections of zines. A
broad range of zines covering the past 15 years are included in the collection.
A project is currently underway to catalogue the zines. Octapod was responsible
for the publication of the New Pollution (1998) - an anthology of zines from
around Australia. These zines have formed the basis of our collection, which
gets added to each year via people attending the Zine Fair at the National Young
Writers' Festival (as part of the This Is Not Art Festival). The collection has
been classified as significant by the National Library of Australia and we are
awaiting the outcome of our application to the National Library for funds to
preserve and catalogue the collection and make it more accessible through
developing an online catalogue (fingers crossed!). A group recently started up a
weekly drop in arvo, to make zines together. There is also a cataloguing
workshop scheduled during TINA (at Octapod on the Friday and Saturday
10am-12noon).

FYI - Octapod will be open to the public during TINA: Thurs 2nd Oct - Mon 6th
Oct 12-5pm. So, people are welcome to drop in and check out the zine collection.

Harvest Magazine seeking Contributions

Calling all artists!


harvest magazine is cranking up for its second issue and we want to publish your work. Our latest theme is…


Travel

Physical, mental or metaphorical

The journey or the destination
Going places, moving spaces

The Amazon jungle or the local shop

The journey of a thousand miles, one small step for man, etc.

We are looking for art, illustrations, graphics, collage, photography - anything really, if it's roughly on theme. Submissions can be emailed to our art director at harvest.artwork@gmail.com by Monday 15 September.


harvest is Melbourne's newest literary magazine, featuring the work of artists and writers, both emerging and established. Featuring full-colour art and printed on thick stock, aesthetics is as important to us as good content. We're about cross-pollinating between writing, art and design, and being kind to the environment. We have a circulation of about 1000 copies around the country.


Check out our website (www.harvestmagazine.wordpress.com) to see what we do, or pick up a copy at Readings, magnation, Brunswick Bound, Brunswick Street Books, Metropolis or Sticky. Alternatively, order straight from us to help fund our next issue by emailing writetoharvest@gmail.com.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think might be interested in submiting work for issue two.

Story To... wants what you've got

After a very successful first issue, Melbourne’s only alternative commuter zine, Story To…, is once again calling for your work.

The theme for Issue Two is “Pod People”. So many people who travel on public transport bury themselves in their music and we want you to help us show them the train station life they are oblivious to. We want to see this reflected in writing (short fiction, poetry, film and theatre scripts, creative non-fiction and song lyrics) and in artwork (photography and graphic design).

Please stick to a limit of 300 – 500 words. The closing date for submissions is Tuesday 30 September 2008. All submissions need to be emailed to storytoproject@gmail.com. Please format text as Times New Roman / size 12 font / single-space with no other formatting.

If you want to discuss your submission ideas with us, or have any general queries, then drop us an email at storytoproject@gmail.com.

Check out our website to view a copy of Issue One, read interviews with previous contributors or just get a feel for what we’re about: www.storyto.wordpress.com.
