The document discusses the author's process of printing and distributing their fanzine project. They emailed printing companies for quotes and ultimately chose Mixam.com as the cheaper option. The author also researched ways to promote their fanzine, such as attending a fanzine event in York, creating an Instagram account featuring their logo and fanzine photos, and uploading it to the website Issuu. The goal is to attract their target audience and see how popular the fanzine becomes.

1. GETTING MY WORK
OUT THERE

2. PRINTING MY FANZINE
• At first, I was unsure on how I could make my project so I could show it to
other people. I knew I needed to get it printed but I couldn't decide which
online printing website to use, I decided to email around to see what the
best deals were. I emailed Quacks and Focus4Print companies to see what
there prices were going to be. Quacks responded with a price of £40 + vat
for 5 copies. Focus4Print never responded.
• I then went online to see what online companies could do, I looked at
Mixam.com which I researched before in my problem solving. I chose Mixam
as it was the cheaper option for more copies. Overall it cost £30.50 for 8
copies including printing. It was quick difficult to correct the bleed as it
needed to be 3mm along the pages. This was quite confusing to do, but
once I got my head around it, it was easy.

DO TO GET IT OUT
THERE?

7. EVENTS/ SOCIAL MEDIA/ WEBSITES
• I decided to look at fanzine events near me, there is a York fanzine event in August. This is
something that I am interesting in as I think it would be a good way to get my way out
there as well as looking at other peoples fanzines. Nearer the time I will be able to sign up,
so I will see if I am free this day. I also created a Instagram for my fanzine, I started off by
following different feminist accounts and waited for them to follow me back. I decided that
I would create a logo for my fanzine as most of the feminists had their own logos. This took
a while but after I created it I was very happy with the finished product. I added some
photos from this fanzine as well as an image from my last fanzine that I created. I think
most of my target audience would be attracted to my fanzine on Instagram instead of
other social media platforms. I decided to add my fanzine onto issuu as this was another
way on how I could attract my target audience, the setting up of issuu was a little bit
confusing but once I had realised what I needed to do it was much easier. I am excited to
see where I can get my fanzine about and see how popular it could be.
