Alternative Publishing is an Australian project that seeks to explore simple, cheap and effective ways people can get their ideas, writing, stories out into the public arena, either on the internt or not. It's for writers, makers of books, zinesters, poets, and anyone with an interest in how things work in the world of self publishing.

The Paper Mill is now accepting zines for their Sydney store. This is a pretty cool looking gallery so might be interesting to stock with them. Link :http://thepapermill.org.au/

Some Things to Keep Us Busy
Dawdlr is a cool postcard project asking the same question as social media sites. They want an update, what you are doing right now, but the catch is they don't want you to post it on a social media website they want you to write or draw a postcard and send it to them by snail mail. THEN they'll put it up on their blog. It seems a long way round, but hey, at Alternative Publishing we love anything zany and anything that gets our words out there, so why don't you join in. Find the address to send your postcard HERE.
The Penny Black Project is also asking you to particiapte in an on-line project.
You can register for ROUND 2 of the PENNY BLACK PROJECT. Six projects, six weeks apart. Create a series of postage stamps as art. They will send you the details when you register.
Submissions will be published at PENNYBLACKPROJECT.BLOGSPOT.COM and be compiled into a zine at project end. ROUND 1 also turned into an exhibition. Closes February 11.
