What others have said about Zine World

“Zine World has survived and evolved over the years to be one of the most useful tools for zine editors, writers, and readers. Beyond the exhaustive review section, they devote a significant section of their zine to other helpful resources such as mailing rates and tips on printers and distributors, as well as a highly interactive letters section.”
–Casey Ress, MaximumRockNRoll

“Zine World is a wonderful zine. … As a zinester, I really enjoyed this zine and it made for a fairly quick read, too, but still with enough content to leave me feeling satisfied. If you’re a zinester or are interested in the culture, this is a must have.”
–Kurt Morris, Razorcake

“I like to refer to Zine World as ‘old faithful,’ considering its reliable longevity and its very cut-and-dry purpose: to provide readers with a guide to the underground press. This metazine has been successfully published time and time again, and each new issue brings with it pages and pages of reviews, classified ad listings, journalism of zine-pertinent news, communications, and more. Jerianne runs this like a public service, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the hard work and fantastic product!”
–Taylor Ball, Parcell Press

“The definitive reader’s guide to the underground press, which contain a huge batch of zine & book reviews. Zine World’s … lively, entertaining, and informative reading with a political edge to some of the material.”
–Keith & Rosemary Walker, Fanzine Fanatique

“With something like 30 pages devoted to reviews, Zine World is probably the best resource available for those interested in the full zine spectrum. Zines of every topic are covered here and, generally speaking, the writers do a good job of letting the reader know what to expect from the items reviewed. However, the reviews — although there are a lot of them — only make up about half of this issue. There are also informative reports on free speech and censorship stories from around the nation … We also get a few pages of reader letters, some news, event reports, classifieds (free for you and me) and other info. … Recommended.”
–Rick Bradford, poopsheetfoundation.com

“Interesting news section culled from the hidden cracks of the media — all pertaining to censorship, free speech, and a host of other big brother-esque events. Oodles of well written zine reviews, classifieds, word of mouth, and address changes. All your zine information in one place. It rocks.”
–Aprille, Slug & Lettuce

“I liked this a lot. It’s mostly zine reviews from all different genres… Almost half of it is devoted to news from the zine scene, school newspaper censorship, the growing police state, etc. … These non-review pages put this publication at the top of the zine-review zine heap.”
–Jeff Mason, MaximumRockNRoll

“Thank you for sending me the new issue of Zine World. As always, I feel lucky that you continue to publish this incredible resource. For someone like me who lives for good zines, I don’t know what I’d do without.”
–Anonymous

“Just when I was considering not subscribing to Zine World again, the newest issue came in the mail. It was a solid reminder of what ‘freedom of the press’ really means and what is at stake in these perilous times. I appreciate greatly the forum you give to the vast zinester landscape. Particularly the encouragement you give to the young.”
–Bruce Mark Nevin, Lancaster PA

“Zines like Zine World … really provide validation for the hard work of all of us in the zine trenches.”
–Chris, Reglar Wiglar

“Zine World is probably the best overall reference guide to zines. The hundreds of reviews are critical but constructive, and the articles are also typically well chosen and a cut above. My favorite part of Zine World is the news section, which maintains a sharp eye on our nation’s war on dissent and free speech. Editor Jerianne takes particular notice of how kids’ expression is constantly being suppressed in schools, and brings those stories to light. Truly, the suppression of speech and expression in schools is one of the great uncovered issues of our time.”
