2. Upcoming Events

3. Submission Calls
 - Creature Mag are calling for people to create a Movember Moustache character for a project in aid of Movember. The best ones will receive prizes!  Deadline: 30th November. Lots more info can be found on their website.

4. Distro News
- Marching Stars distro is off hiatus! The distro has also added 12 new zines to the site, as well as having lots of zines come back into stock. www.marchingstars.co.uk

5. A.O.B.
 - The Brighton Zine Fest Collective have disbanded, which means there will be no more Brighton Zinefests in the near future. This is very sad news, as BZF is one of the biggest annual UK zine events.  If anyone would like to offer words of support, or offer to hold their own zine event in Brighton, you can join the conversation on BZF's facebook page.
