Zine Distributors (Distros)

Zine distros are small distribution organizations (sometimes just a zinester who wants to help others get their zines out there). You can usually buy zines from them online for between $1-$10 each. Timeliness varies from distro to distro - some are small operations which means you can easily get in touch with them but they may need a bit of lead time to get you your zines!

Brows Recluse Zine Distro
Out of Seattle, Brown Recluse Zine Distro was created to support and center zines written predominantly by POC folks of all identities. This project was born out of passion for zines and frustration at the lack of representation and meaningful zine material for People of Color.
Antiquated Future
Antiquated Future is an online store, zine distro, pop-up shop, and tape label that began in 2008 out of Olympia, Washington and currently operates out of Portland, Oregon. Over the past fifteen years, we've distributed several thousand different zines, books, cassettes, records, and handmade odds and ends by independent artists. Though we've grown over the years—and even gone through a name change (originally we were the Ms. Valerie Park Distro)—we've been essentially the same since the beginning: we spread print and physical mediums through digital avenues, employing the future to preserve the past.
Microcosm
A slightly more press-like distro, they have some zines that are zine-y and others that really verge on published material.
Zines on Etsy
There are lots of individual folks selling zines on Etsy. You can brows them here!

Zine Fests and Special Events

Zine fests are gatherings of many zine creators and distributors. They're a great place to buy zines but also to connect with folks, attend workshops, and share information about your library.
