Suzanne
I'm Suzanne, a student at U of T with some kind of ambition to turn a B.A. in English into something useful. I started making zines when I was fifteen - mostly of the horrendously self-indulgent variety - and never really stopped. I've published two novelettes through Say Uncle Press (which is really just me hiding behind a publishing title), Leper Dance and Jonathan St. James and the world as we know it. I'll be honest, I got involved in all of this through sheer jealousy of other cities that already had zine libraries...that and the joy of moving out of the suburbs.
Patrick My name is Patrick. I've made some zines in my time, but not really that many. Most of them were one-offs with no continuity whatsoever. Most recently, I've published a series of short story zines called Intelligence Failure. I'm only up to number 3. I'm also a librarian. I went to library school, and got a master's degree in library science. I'm really interested in alternative libraries, like zine libraries, and that's why I got involved with the Toronto Zine Library.
Danielle
I'm Danielle. I'm a library student and library technician, which makes me a big fan of libraries. I love reading alternative media, namely zines and graphic novels. So naturally, I love zine libraries. I did my undergraduate degree in Equity Studies, so I'm really interested in zines with an anti-oppressive focus and zines as a tool for education/activism. I've made a few zines as personal art projects, but thus far, nothing I've made has been distributed. But likely in the future, something I've created will turn up at the Toronto Zine Library.
