Zines go back quite a long time and have made a profound impact on human history. The protestant reformation kicked off with Martin Luther’s zine Ninety-Five Theses, and the American Revolution wouldn’t have been possible without Thomas Paine’s zine Common Sense. The best way to share zines has always been hand to hand. To help you find places to give and receive zines in person, Rebel Hearts Publishing has curated this list of zine fests and book fairs. To add your zine fest or book fair, email loveisrevolutionary@gmail.com
