The Zine Machine is a collaborative project between the University of Iowa Libraries (http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/), students at the University of Iowa, and zinesters all over the world.
Jessica C. White has been the keeper of the zinemachine for a number of years (http://thezinemachine.blogspot.com/) but she has recently relocated to warmer climates and entrusted the Zinemachine project to the Art Education Department at the University of Iowa (http://www.uiowa.edu/~artlearn/). (For a complete history compiled by Jessica you can download the PDF below.)
We distribute zines, mini comics, and small artists books created by University of Iowa students. We accept zines, mini-comics, and small artist's books for submission and distribution and donate the proceeds to various charities and organizations in the state that support the arts, free expression, and social causes. Zines up to 5 ½ x 8 ½ can be accommodated.
Your submission may be featured on our website and will be archived in the University of Iowa's Zine Collection in Special Collections.
