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! We can print up to A3, in black and white or risographed in a choice of six colours. (Due to Covid-19 disruption, I can currently only 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.
I’m especially interested in putting out new work, or zines by makers from outside the UK. Talk to us if you’re interested.
What I’m interested in:
Zines, books, records, badges, 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!
