Terrible Beauty is Back! A Call for Submissions

Terrible Beauty, a Manic Street Preacher's fanzine originally published between 1995-2002 is back! They're looking for contributions, too, so get in touch with them ASAP. Here's the call for contributions:

Something’s rumbling under the paving stones, something’s stirring in the urban density.

We’re dusting off the type-writer keys....sharpening our scissors and our minds, unfurling the banner.
Terrible Beauty Fanzine went on a long sabbatical of the soul that was necessary and cool but we’ve been watching from the sidelines and something’s calling, calling us back.

We’re refuelling, we’re rewinding, we’re fastforwarding and we’re coming at you some time in 2015. The fanzine will return to mark the 20th anniversary the ground-breaking Holy Bible album as well as celebrate the continuing, shimmering beauty of the band that are still telling it via rock and roll like nobody else is. Although the Manics are our central inspiration our vision is much broader than musings on the band and we warmly invite contributions on the artistic/cultural/political significance referenced by them and beyond.

We are also happy to review/swap zines with others and support small press/zine culture however we can.

Send enquiries/contributions to Mary & Viv at email: terrible_beauty@outlook.com

We've also been sent a compilation zine full of the best bits from Terrible Beauty over the years. We'll do a blog post about that later this week.

Call for submissions: The Glastonbury Project

We have been asked to share a call for submissions for the Glastonbury Project. If you are looking for submissions for your zine, we're happy to post something on here and on our Twitter account, so get in touch in the usual way!

"The Glastonbury Project will be a collaborative zine (a self-published book/magazine), distributed free at this year’s festival. The aim is to create a collection of artwork inspired by the festival that doesn’t usually get seen by those who attend, as well as creating something that can be taken away and remembered.

The zine will be curated, produced, distributed and funded by myself (Katherine Mitchell). With access to printing and book making facilities in Leeds, I aim to make the zine as cheaply but as beautifully as possible!

All work featured in the zine will be credited with a link to your website. The deadline is May 25th.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions: theglastonburyproject@gmail.com

Please spread the word!"
