Two Fisted Librarians Issue !

Two Fisted Librarians, the super awesome anthology zine I edited, is finished! It contains pulp adventure fiction stories about libraries and librarians. Awesome!

You can find out more info (and previews!) on the Two Fisted Librarians blog.

You'll also be able to get a copy if you go to the Zine Pavilion at the American Library Association conference this weekend (June 28th-July 1st), the Iowa City Zine Librarian (un)Conference (July 13th-14th), or the Portland Zine Symposium (August 10th-11th).

Plus I'll be in Kentucky, Toronto, and other places this summer, so if you know of any cool zine events (or just want to hang out), let me know!

Two Fisted Librarians

You know, I was so busy not updating this blog at all (and then writing reviews for it), that I completely forgot to post about the new anthology zine that I'm editing!

Two Fisted Librarians is a collection of fiction, comics, and art created by librarians concerning libraries and librarians. The deadline is April 30th.

We’re looking for stories that fondly recall the pulp magazines of the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s, and comics of the ’40s and ’50s. Mad science, weird fantasy, occult horror, spicy mysteries, noirish romances, thrilling adventures, and whatever else.

Want to write about a library that uses steampunk technology, a cataloguing system so obtuse that it drives those that try to use it insane, or a librarian who has to track down a Nazi zeppelin in order to get an overdue book? Go for it! Send an email or check out the blog for more info.
