	I discuss my zine-making practice in some of the interviews on the About page. My zines are mostly out of print, though The British Library and The Women's Library in the UK hold full and partial sets respectively, and you can download copies of some of them from the Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP). Collaborative Zines More substantial zines collectively made, one-offs. A Queer and Trans Fat Activist Timeline (2011) Visit the project's page on Obesity Timebomb. Big Bums (2008) Bill Savage, Kay Hyatt, Simon Murphy and I made a fat zine, partially-funded by a grant from NOLOSE. We Are The Charlotte Cooper (2007) About a bunch of gals who share the same name. Things That Help Us Feel Good (2007) In August 2007 I devised and facilitated a workshop about body image with a group 13 and 14 year old girls for The Wellcome Institute. Working With Transgender Clients (2007) A zine by and for trans people and therapists/counsellors. One-offs Tiny folded A4 zines. Fat Stuff (2006) A zine to protest my college's Obesity Awareness Week. any woman can be a lesbian (2005) and You Are A Lucky Man (2006) Zines to accompany performances. Safety Pinz (2002) A zine made to go with a fancy dress outfit. Cakey (2002) The cakes of Naples. Story Zines This was a series of simple, one-off stories about things that interest me. Again folded A3 and free. Some are autobiographical, others are not. The series ran January 1997 - October 2002 but I also published Recycled in 2010 and Poly in 2011. The full list, alphabetically: Beefer, Dad, Dead, Dumb, Found, Fuck, Junk, Love, Norge, Nut, Scott, Sing, Spa, Spice, Stratford, Versace, Village and Womyn. Parts of Village were included in Jason Barker's 1999 film Subterranean Homesick Blues. Kink I produced ten issues of Kink between 1996 and 1999. It started out as a queer grrrl zine, and ended up as a repository for odd little pieces of writing that I was doing. Again it used the trusty folded A3 format and was given away for free. Best Friends My first attempt at making a comic of my own. It's all about some of the intense friendships I had when I was a kid. I ripped-off the folded A3 format from Girly, a publication produced by Simon Murphy also known then as Mona Compleine. Writing for other people It took me a while to develop the confidence to make my own zines and comics, but by the mid-90s I was encouraged by Lee Kennedy, FaT GiRL, ByPass and GirlFrenzy, all of whom published my work. Later I wrote for other zines, including Unskinny Bop, Homocrime, and Size Queen. I still contribute to other people's zines, such as Shape & Situate and EatMe. all right I started off in the early 1990s writing scripts for comics, making a two-issue comic zine with Simon Murphy. all right (.pdf, 4.94mb) all right 2 (.pdf, 9.31mb)
