Want to take part in an Indie Book & Zine Fair this summer? Stalls available for creatives selling DIY print publications; indie books, zines, comics, poetry pamphlets etc.

This Indie Book & Zine Fair is a chance for DIY publishers to come together, show and sell their work, and connect with like-minded individuals. It's a grassroots project taking place at Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Edinburgh (also home to Out of the Blueprint, a social enterprise/risograph print studio).

The fair takes place on 21 July 2018, 12-5pm (set-up from 11am). The cafe is open all day. Trestle tables are provided (6ft by 2ft) and you can book a full table or half table, depending on the amount of work you have to sell! 

The costs are £14 for a full table (6ft by 2ft), £7 for half a table. Or pay what you can. 

Submissions will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis, so please apply sooner rather than later!

What are the selection criteria?
There's no 'selection criteria' as that's not in the spirit of a zine fair, but as a guideline we're looking for small-scale, non-commercial, home-produced, print publications with a creative element; animated zines, comics, poetry pamphlets, indie books with illustrations or photos. And it must be tangible print!
