Entries accepted: Worldwide! Ends 3/12.

I’m a zine-loving gal, and Kristy’s shop, The Ponies, features 3 years of zine fun! I didn’t even realize that etsy was the home to zines. I had the chance to ask Kristy a bit about her writing. Here’s what she had to say:

How did you get started? I needed a creative outlet and I figured other people would too so I started a zine that anyone could contribute to. The first edition came out in May 06 and the last one (#13) in Feb 09. Over that time I had nearly 250 contributors from 11 different countries.

What’s your inspiration? Street art, nights out, coffee, cute boys with tattoos.

What’s your favorite medium? Paper and a typewriter!

Kristy, the fabulous owner of The Ponies, just got married on 2/13! CONGRATS GIRL! She’s been writing poems, short stories, and zine articles forever, and finally started her own zine a few years back called (yep, you guessed it) The Ponies! Here’s how she got into the business:

poniesI was lucky enough to review one of The Ponies issues, Edition 11: Saturday Night from August of 2008! It includes stories about Saturday nights, including childhood memories, party highlights, photos and more! My fave part of the zine, though, is the simultaneous around-the-world documentation of Saturday night, July 26, 2008! 9 writers from different countries document their Saturday night in writing snippets and photos! Loved it! It was definitely a very unique idea!

What YOU can win: Letters to my Exes! It’s a book/zine featuring letters to Kristy’s exes! I know I’d love a peek into that book! Here’s how Kristy describes it: “What if one night, you sat and wrote a letter to every person you’d ever been with: relationships, one-night-stands, complicated flirtations… What if you wrote all the things you wished you’d said at the time, apologised at last for things you did wrong, told them how much you learnt from them? What if you bound it up with ribbon and turned it into a little book?”

  • Heather! said:

    I LOVE this sort of thing! My favorite books tend to be journals and diaries…things that allow you to peek in on somebody else’s life…and maybe even compare it to your own? I would love to check out any of The Ponies books, but I think the first one I’d pick up would be The Diary Project. So cool…thanks!
