South East London Zine Fest

Hey there avid readers!

So, Monster Emporium Press are back in the game and busy planning the first ever South East London Zine Festival! WHOOP! We're working on it with Jimi Gherkin of Alternative Press fame, Peter Willis of London Zine Symposium fame and a whole gang of zine and small press enthusiasts. It's going to be RAD, website is here. Go, apply, be merry!

Here is the first flyer designed by the talented Ellena Donlon...

The Monsters are also back in the 'office' (or: Kathryn's living room) planning some new books of poetry, lyrics and pictures. Watch this space...

Dates for your diaries! aka lots of fun stuff coming up...

Hey there Monster lovers, so here are a bunch of dates you *may* want to note down. How else will you get your fix of MEP goodness? Exactly. So...

We will be of course at the International Alternative Press Fair this weekend! It's going be very exciting and is the first time Alt Press are going international. It's a mere £2 to get in and it takes place at Conway Hall (25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL) from 10am - 4pm on both Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 May.
There may even be cake...
ALSO We will be at the Sassoon Gallery on Sunday 5 June as part of their show, Holy Sh!t: The Visions of the Walworth Jumpers which sounds awesome and is in Peckham (yes! South London 4 eva).

AND there is a zine festival at the Women's Library (East London) on Saturday 25 June which looks pretty exciting...we're not organised enough to have applied for this yet so we will confirm closer to the date. But still...

FINALLY (and similarly we have yet to apply but sounds very interesting...) on 22-24 July there's a slightly more literary/academic event taking place at Galerie 8 (Hackney) where many Chris Marker films will be shown and there will be all sorts of artists' book and self-published goodness.

WOAH!

‘Mission is what matters’

We’re planning a new fanzine, taking a different object of obsession / adoration each issue. The first issue will be dedicated to JOSS WHEDON, creator of more good things than I can list without making this sentence too long.

Open submissions. We’d like fan fiction, articles, drawings, blurred stalkery pictures of the man himself or affiliates, etc. etc. Deadline: 20th June. No money made will go to any individuals, just back in the pot for more zines. Contributors will get a free copy.

Images should be .jpg, minimum 300dpi, maximum 10mb file, suitable for B&W printing. Documents should be .doc (please, no .docx files), maximum 1500 words.

Please send subs to hive@monsteremporiumpress.co.uk
