Pocket Lint Collective Zine






If it can fit in your pocket, we can probably fit it in the zine. We’re looking for trinkets and snapshots of the human experience. For now, we’re interested in all forms of creative expression that can be printed. Dig through your scraps of crumpled poetry lines or find margin doodles in an old notebook and send them our way!



What can I submit?



How do I submit a piece?

Email your work to pastimeshop@gmail.com. Make sure to include your name and the title(s) of your piece(s) so we can attribute works to their creators.

Each issue of Pocket Lint Collective has space for approximately 5-6 pieces. We try to print 2 issues per month with different themes. Our zines are printed on smaller pages, so for written pieces there is a 100 word limit (roughly). However, if you want to submit a piece that’s a little bit longer, we'll see what we can do!


How do I get a copy?

All of our contributors will be sent copies of the issues they participated in. More copies can be found in our Etsy shop or at Bombadil Books in downtown Grand Rapids!

**Look for our zine at Bombadil Books during their book + zine fair for Art Downtown on April 9th! More information here: http://bombadilbooks.com/events/
