Stalls at this year’s London Zine Symposium

Above are some of the confirmed stalls for this year’s London Zine Symposium – more will be confirmed soon.

We’ve closed the applications form for stalls at this year’s Zine Symposium. Zines which don’t have a stall are encouraged to bring copies of their zine to the Individual Zine Rocks table, which will be selling zines, comics and posters throughout the day for zines with only a few issues, or who don’t want a table (see below).

The individual zine rocks

People with just one zine (or comic, poster etc.) who don’t want to take on the responsibility of a table are encouraged to still bring their publication along to the Symposium and we’ll sell it on the ‘Individual zine rocks’ table. You’ll receive all the money from any copies sold. More details about this system will be up in the next few weeks.
