Some of you might remember earlier in the year, when I produced a ZINE entitled Throwaway Literature #6; Metamorphoses. Well! I am currently creating #7, of which the theme is unclear so far. I do rant about the vote and sexism a lot though. There will be a title. Anyhow. This is a meta-post to inform you that this blog will henceforth be used for the promotion of my zines, Throwaway Literature and Silence, Cupcake. Blog posts will mostly be excerpts from essays and rants used in the zines, calls for submissions and updates on zine progress.

Simple Ways to Save the World will also continue. If you have any little ideas that create big change, email me at sw2@ throwawayliterature.com.

If you want to read more of my rantings more often, then head over to That Fucking Hippy where I write frequently. So there’s that!

Look out for #7 of Throwaway Literature in the next couple of weeks; it should be a good’un!

Throwaway Literature #6 Metamorphoses focuses on change, both personal and political.

Happiness is Not a Location

Amelia Wells’ writing is an intriguing blend of activism, inspiration, and fighting The Man, all of which combine to create Throwaway Literature, a ‘zine designed to move readers to think hard about their world. Topics range from travel to animal rights to life changes to art, each article written with passion and each page created to draw both your eye and your heart.

Silence, Cupcake #1

Silence, Cupcake is a perzine written by me during and about struggling with depression, wondering what happiness is, and how one defines love. It is maybe the scariest thing I have ever tried to sell people. It is currently in a limited print run of 10, because I’m lazy when it comes to folding things. It costs 50p and might come with some surprises.

Both go anywhere in the world. ANYWHERE! South Korea, I’m lookin’ atchoo. I put a lot of love into these, so it turns out that you can buy love. Woohoo! ALSO. If you have your own zine, email me at the below for a trade!

BUT WAIT! There’s MORE!

If you, like me, often think

i've got a lot to say

then perhaps you would like to contribute to Throwaway Literature #7? The theme is Holding Hands and you can interpret it however you’d like. I’m looking at our dependence on the government, how much we are led by the media and how you don’t have to be friends to work towards a common goal. If you’re an illustrator, blogger, 6 word story writer, poet, or you’ve never written anything in your whole life, then pour you passion out and email amelia @throwawayliterature.com with your submission. Everyone featured in the ‘zine gets a free copy, bien sur!

You can still download Throwaway Literature #6 here for free, as well. Buy, Trade, Steal!

Throwaway Literature, for anybody who has read the About page began life as a lil ‘zine wherein I wrote & ranted about whatever occured to me. I believe the first issue asked the question ‘What Is Love?’ and sported a quote from Belle & Sebastian on the cover. The more recent issue, #5, covers the events of two summers ago, travails in Italy & Broadstairs, plus festival fun & frolics.

Two years later, & four months in the making, I have a slim volume for you to peruse. I write about Metamorphosis; the changes I went through while cocooned in a coach for twenty four hours, whether we should strive to change ourselves or not & there’s a neat little photo-collage of the changing nature of Barcelona’s much graffitted streets among other stories from my travels & tribulations.

It’s free to download here and will be appearing in print form sooner or later also. If you would like the print version pdf, just drop me a line & I’ll wizz it over to you. So that’s FREE to download here.

It would be wonderful to get some feedback from you guys about this, since I plan to be putting a new one out quarterly from now on.
