KEEP YER HEID! A Scottish Poetry Zine
Why celebrate Scottish poets one day a year, when you can celebrate them all month long, and beyond?! That was our thought when we put together this poetry collection. Scottish poetry is often thought of as bleak and gloomy, but the poetry in KEEP YER HEID! is warm and witty - and very funny! Featuring 25 poets, and some wonderful original art, themes include lockdown, festivals, romance, death and justice, music, and Scottish history. You'll find writing in traditional Scots, as well as more contemporary works. https://coinoperatedpress.bigcartel.com/

The Troll Flayers: A Dungeons & Dragons Zine
The Troll Flayers zine introduces you to the world of Dungeons & Dragons through the eyes of three new players, and one fantastic Dungeon Master! Let me introduce you to The Trollflayers... I mean, we only actually flayed a troll one time, and mostly because Jhaan wanted to eat it, but the name kind of stuck. Katie’s partner Aeryn is an experienced Dungeons & Dragons player, and she was wonderful enough to offer to DM for us on our very first adventure together into this fantastic game. This zine is a documentation of the first few steps we have taken on our journey, as we share with you our story so far, you will get to meet our characters, and we have written a few words about how we are finding the game so far. Read the story of the adventure so far, featuring delightful artwork, short stories, and personal essays. Happy playing, and may the dice be ever in your favour! https://coinoperatedpress.bigcartel.com/

Festivals Zine
We were so sad to learn that the Edinburgh Festivals were cancelled in 2020, along with so many other amazing festivals throughout the world. This was a massive blow to the arts community, and we felt that it was important to celebrate our love for festivals, music, and the performing arts. We wanted to lift up the voices of the artists, writers, performers, and crew who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This zine contains pieces by 15 incredible folks. Inside you will find a wide variety of artwork, photography, essays, short stories, and more! https://coinoperatedpress.bigcartel.com/

Notes from the community
ZineMap provides an indispensable tool for makers within a subculture to magnetize to one another.
While I primarily love ZineMap for ability to connect zine lovers across the globe, it has become an incredibly useful tool to help direct people to my distro.
ZineMap assists with zine distribution, zine visibility, connecting zinemakers and audience. […] It also means that anyone in the world can find zines close to them on any given day and can go and be inspired.
