Peppermint Alley Press

What is Peppermint Alley Press?

I am so glad that you asked! The first time someone sent me their personal newsletter, I was enchanted. It’s basically a perzine put in a newsletter format. I call my version non-news because it’s mostly filled with little tidbits of things I’m learning or thinking about. As described by one reader’s Letter to the Editor, I “basically overlook what’s happening in the world and zoom in on the mundane and add a lot of sparkle. It’s magical really.” Ok then, I’ll take that.

There are three options!

Supporter Friends: Full Color Version

($5/month suggested minimum donation, color prints, sent monthly)

Note: this is also open to zine makers who swap with me.

Supporter Friends: Full Color Version Info

Summer 2018, one of the first cutting rooms

Three years in, I have created non-news newsletters from the shores of Lake Michigan, from Las Vegas before catching a flight, from tables in Philadelphia, coffee shops and more, from the mountains of Colorado and even from the very slow snail mail of post offices in Mexico. To be sure, each month is an adventure and I’m so glad that you are willing to come along with me.
