Submitting your work for sale
If you’d like me to consider selling your lovely work you’ll need to post me a sample to this address:
Vicky Stevenson
Pen Fight
PO Box 610
MANCHESTER
M12 0EN
Unfortunately I cannot return samples.
Let me know the following information: a little about yourself, your retail and wholesale prices (usually 50% of retail, but this is negotiable), and how to contact you.
For zines, I purchase up-front and pay via paypal, bank transfer, or with distro credit (your choice).
For books and other large items, we prefer sale-or-return.
Pen Fight Press
I also run a small zine press, and can print and bind your work for you! I can currently print A4 in black and white or full colour. I take care of distribution and you get a paid 40% of the profit from every copy sold.
Or, if you don’t need to receive payment but just want your zine out in the world, we can sell them on a pay-what-you-can scale down to £0.
I’m especially interested in putting out new work, or zines by makers from outside the UK. Talk to us if you’re interested – please include a full PDF or similar of your zine if you have this available.
What I’m interested in:
Zines, books, pins, patches, prints, bags, & other DIY handmade crafts and artwork.
Work on the theme of: mental health, self care, disability, gender, sexuality, women, feminism, politics, class, friendship & relationships, plants, environmentalism & animal rights, veg*n food, affordable arts & crafts, how-to’s, and perzines.
What I’m not interested in: anything that involves racism, sexism, cultural appropriation, ableism, homo/bi/queer/ace-phobia, transphobia or cissexism, body-shaming, classism, victim blaming, anti-sex-worker etc. It’s also important to me that what Pen Fight sells is affordable, so I probably won’t accept any zines that retail for over £5, or larger items for over £20. Also as a rule I do not stock poetry, sorry!
