PLAINTEXT DISPATCH 10 : GZF 2022 Report!
PLAINTEXT DISPATCH 10 : GZF 2022 Report!
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.
Orders have closed...
July has come and gone, so online zine orders are now closed, and all orders are now on their way to their destination, with many already arriving! Even though I wasn't planning to do online sales again this year, so had limited time to get the word out, and was working with already having made the print order, I still think it was fairly successful!
GZF 2022 STATS!
For this round, we debuted 3 new full size zines, and 2 minis, all by different authors! This brings our full catalog to including 11 full size zines and 4 minis, by 9 different authors! How cool!
I don't have a fully accurate count, but we distributed around 100 copies of zines during the month of July, all while recouping our printing costs.
On top of that we made £45, which will be again donated to Remade Network, an organization on the southside of Glasgow that refurbishes and repairs technology and electronics that would otherwise contribute to ewaste.
HMM... WHAT ELSE?
I will keep an eye out for additional opportunities to sell some of the remaining stock. I was really excited to see people's response to the zines in-person and that sadly didn't happen this time, but there may be other fairs or even just craft markets that pop up as a possibility. Thanks again to everyone for submitting work, ordering, or even just sharing Plaintext Distro related stuff! :)
Thanks for reading! And of course, feel free to get in touch by replying to this email if you have any questions.
