Start Select Reset Zine 📑

Start Select Reset Zine (SSRZ) is a print zine, mailed to supporters four times a year.

I don’t believe in paywalls, and the “support my email newsletter and get more email” model feels like part of the problem, not the solution. Instead, I want to send you something real. A physical artefact in a world of digital noise.

This zine exists because I would make it anyway. Your subscription keeps my creative work flowing—funding Permanently Moved, Experience.Computer, and keeps this blog’s lights on. But more than that, it supports an experiment in independent publishing, in making and sharing outside of the algorithmic churn.

Pay monthly or yearly; the zine ships quarterly.

Past Zines

The Sega Club – Mid 90s

I’ve been making and creating zines for myself and my friends since I was about ten years old. It’s something I’ve always enjoyed—putting ideas onto paper, assembling them by hand, and sharing them.

My first ever zine came together during the summer holidays of 1994 or 1995. My friend Ben and I had a typewriter, some pens, and access to his dad’s workplace risograph machine (which we absolutely abused—an important early lesson in how zines get made!). We managed to put out three issues before moving on to other things.

Nearly thirty years later, I still get the same thrill from seeing a zine I’ve made in someones hands.

On The Rag – Early 00’s

I was a regular contributor to the RIOT GRRL / feminist punk zine – On The Rag.

Published sporadically in Margate for several years. Next time I’m at my parents I’ll dig out some more issues and take photos.

On The Rag Zine - A black and white high-contrast zine cover titled ON THE RAG #1 featuring two people laughing and punk-style text.

Gig Flyer. A Line drawing of a woman with a guitar for a 'riot dont diet' rock music event at the QuBar.

Margate's On The Rag #3 - Zine cover with a grainy tank, hearts, and names Skylark, Blood Red Shoes, and Beauty Skool Dropout.

Margate's On The Rag Zine - A white rabbit sniffing a copy of the On The RAG! #1 zine featuring a cartoon rabbit on the cover.

Geekzine – Early 00s

I need to dig out some old issues and photograph them.

Geekzine was the semi-regular fanzine from the Margate based Geekscene DIY collective.

Poptastic Zine – Mid 00s

Absolute hipster bait. I don’t have any issues of this at all despite running for 20 something issues 🙁

If you picked up any copies of this zine in Dalston/Shoreditch/Nottingham/Leeds between 05-07 and still have one tucked away, please send me documentation! 🙏

Zine and Not Heard – 2011-15

ZANH was started by Tommy and Joel in 2011. A London based zine on at the forefront of the modern emo revival. I was a regular contributor to issues: Gig reviews, album reviews, live photos etc.

Light green Zine & Not Heard booklet featuring a hand-drawn fist with Good Habits Bad Habits tattooed across the knuckles.

Cream-colored zine titled ZINE & NOT HEARD #2 with black ink illustrations of three hares in different poses on a white background.

Orange zine cover titled ZINE & NOT HEARD NO. 5 with a sketch of a child and dog, and text reading THE TRUTH IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT!

Floating Worlds

Floating worlds is a semi-regular journal/zine on the subject of worlds. Made by a group chat.

The zine included essays from Tonk, J David Osborne, AWTNMY, Me, A manifesto from the AUTONOMOUS CULTURE RESEARCH BUREAU, OPNPC, and Kitty Mayo. And includes a games corner with a word search and a pastry related solo RPG.
