PLAINTEXT DISPATCH 01 : Welcome!
PLAINTEXT DISPATCH 01 : Welcome!
Welcome to the Plaintext Dispatch list. This is an email list for the Plaintext Distro, a digital zine distro specializing in low-tech, DIY, game dev and anti-capitalist zines.
It's still early days for this project, but I have some good news for both people who want to submit their zines, and people who would like to check out our zines!
UPCOMING DIGITAL TABLE
The first opportunity to order from our selection of zines will be the online Glasgow Zine Festival, which will be available through the month of April. More details on how to purchase the zines and what our lineup will be is coming soon...
IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT A ZINE
Related to the last point, if you are planning to submit a zine for the GZF table, please fill in this form sometime this week! You don't have to have EVERYTHING the form asks for ready right now, but it will help me build the shop page and get a general idea of what we'll have on offer.
HMM... WHAT ELSE?
I am running the annual Writing Jam this month, where people get together to experiment with critical writing on videogames. The theme this year is lists! It runs for a week starting on the 14th. Bonus lore fragment: I started doing these jams because I was bored being single on Valentine's Day
I may also have something similarly inspiring in the works for this years' Now Play This festival.... hohoho...
And, for those of you who love writing handmade web projects, the Low Tech Webring's next update will be April 1st.
Thanks for reading! And of course, feel free to get in touch by replying to this email if you have any questions.
