Call for Submissions: The Throwaway Account

The Throwaway Account is a brand new zine planning to debut in February 2019 interested in your poetry, micro essays, flash fiction, little interviews, postcard-sized art, mini-comics, and other forms of short-short stories!

The theme for the first issue is “Emotions,” which can be anything from sadness to gladness. While the publication will be mostly in English, submissions in other languages, especially for feelings and concepts that are untranslatable, are welcome.

Send all submissions and queries to editor Liz Tetu at throwawayzine@gmail.com by January 14th 2019 to be considered for the first issue. Non-themed submissions are accepted on a rolling basis (aka anytime) for future issues coming out May, August, and November.

“Throwaway” means an interest in anything you have! Old or new, unfinished or just unpolished, the embarrassing, too personal, and too weird submissions are considered just as seriously as any other. Reprints are acceptable, as well, as long as you note where it was originally published when you submit.

“Throwaway” also refers to the way the zine will be printed. The plan is to print most (and handwrite some) submissions and adhere them to napkins made of recycled materials borrowed from restaurants. Plans for a digital anthology of a single year’s issues are also in the works. We’ll see!

The Throwaway Account is 100% recyclable

Vlog – Health Stuff – PCOS Diaries

I don’t plan on posting all my vlogs here on the blog. If you want to make sure you see all my videos, check out and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

This one might be a bit TMI for you. I wanted to share, though, because my health and how I’m feeling has an effect on this channel.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aczgKA7m6lQ&w=425&h=315]

Hello, and happy New Year, zine friends! Today I’m sharing a vlog where I have a long chat about health stuff. While I don’t plan on making a big habit of talking about health stuff, this is something I’ve wanted to chat about since things started ramping up.

I also wanted to explain why I’ve been late/missing things in recent months and why that may happen again in the near future.

Thank you so much for watching, but I understand if this is more than you want to know about me and would rather not. 😉

Happy New Year!

Happiest of New Years to you, dear and wonderful zine friends!

I hope your New Years Eve and New Years has treated you very, very well and that, if you indulged, you’re still feeling okay today. ^_^

I spent the evening at home (surprise, surprise) but had a lovely time. Wanderer rang a really loud bell at precisely 5pm to remind me to stop working. Haha. We enjoyed good food and good company. Sometimes having a chill time at home is the best time. (But perhaps going out to see the fireworks next year.)

Today I have felt pumped about the start of a fresh year, like I usually do. This year already has some unavoidable low spots in place, but I’m still feeling very positive about it all. (Though that could be because I had the spoons for a nice walk and a nice long shower this morning. 🙂 )

I’m very, very happy to have accomplished the final stages of this today:

My new zine storage system! Oh, my gosh. I have had those boxes ready to be folded into shape for – gosh – six months? And I finally got to doing it a few days ago. It took a long time because of a bit of extra taping and cutting needed to get the boxes just the way I wanted them for zine storage. These should last me quite a long time (though I may have to separate out more popular letters to individual boxes like S-T).

This is the space above the shelves in the background of nearly all my videos. I usually have a weird assembly of bits and bobs up there, so it’s nice to have it be an actual dedicated space for something.

The one annoyance is that I ran out of boxes. I have the alphabetical organising for one-offs and zines like that, but I like having boxes for individual zinemakers as well. That way I can keep all their zine awesomeness together in one place. I did have quite a few boxes, but I still fell short. (So if you don’t see your name and we trade a lot – that’s why!) I’ll be saving up to get more boxes in the future.

There’s a lot to look forward to for Sea Green Zines in 2019, but I think I’ve prattled along quite enough in this post. Haha. I’ll be back soon with a post focused on what direction I’ll be steering SGZ in this year and a few fun things coming up.

Until next time…
