Two exciting news items for yr perusal: <br />
<br />
Firstly, following the success of our inaugural event in 2012, QZFL will now be an annual shindig. Yay! Details on where/when QZFL2013 will take place to follow, so <a href="http://queerzinefestlondon.tumblr.com/">link</a>/<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lgbtqzinefestlondon">friend</a>/<a href="https://twitter.com/QueerZineFestLd">follow</a>/<a href="http://queerzinefestlondon.blogspot.co.uk/">bookmark</a> us and hold tight for more news.<br />
<br />
Also, I want QZFL2013 to be even better than last year, so I'm after savvy workshoppers, articulate guest speakers and a cabal of helpers who can lend a hand, be that shifting tables and chairs into place or handing out flyers at yr local student union/band rehearsal space/queer hangout. If you want in, <a href="http://queerzinefestlondon.blogspot.co.uk/p/contact.html">get in touch</a>.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I've decided to set up a blog-within-blog for queer zine reviewing purposes! Because while I enjoy turning December into a big, queer Christmas, there are 11 other months of the year that could benefit from a little QZFLness. Want yr wares reviewed? Holler at me <a href="http://queerzinefestlondon.blogspot.co.uk/p/contact.html">here</a>. The guidelines for submitting are hella simple:<br />
<ul>
<li>I'm after queer zines. That means zines made by/for/about queerz. </li>
<li>While I heart queer-centric content, I'm also happy to review zines made by queer-identified folk who may not be writing explicitly queer content. </li>
<li>I'm enthusiastic about: punk, punkademia, class politics, weirdo smut, sex-positive feminism, lived experiences, radical queer politics, confrontational fuck-shit-up lit, intersectionality, PoC/WoC, trans issues, sci-fi, pop culture and good ole fanzines. </li>
<li>Don't bother submitting yr zines if they contain anything that borders on any of the following: racist, classist, transphobic, sexist. Seriously. Just don't. I'm also not hella keen on mega expensive zines. I'm a lo-fi gal! And I pride myself on extolling lo-fi virtues at QZFL. Willing to make exceptions though (see sturdy, clever publications such as FAQNP for a smart examples)</li>
</ul>

We’re totally blown away by the turn-out and all the positive feedback. So many awesome people in one room! We also got a small mention in The Guardian (but didn't know about this until sunday when we woke up from big, recovery sleep on Sunday afternoon and caught up with <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2012/dec/08/this-weeks-new-events">Saturday’s papers</a>. Consensus is that this should be an annual event, so we’re very happy to say that this will be the case!

I'm a big fan of Beth and the work she does at Girls Get Busy. She's a pretty busy bee, and can usually be found setting up mini zine fests, girlcore events and feminist fundraisers when she's not putting together GGB zines. She interviewed us about QZFL, and gave me a chance to talk about motives, community and my queer zine faves. Read on....<br />
