Chicago Zine Fest, an annual celebration of self-publishing
efforts, is now marking its sixth year. For the 2015 festival, there will be a
new date as the festival moves to the month of May, held during the weekend of
Friday May 8th and Saturday May 9th. The festival also brings its exhibition to
a new location, Plumbers’ Union Hall in the West Loop.

The festival weekend kicks off Friday May 8th at 5 pm with
a panel titled Zines: A Future Craft
which will be a discussion with zine creators Jonas, Julia Eff, and Ocean
Capewell, moderated by Jenna Freedman. This event is sponsored by The University
of Chicago Library. The night continues with a pair of readings. At 7 pm join our annual youth reading, Zines: The Next Generation followed
by an 8 pm reading by festival
exhibitors. CART services for the deaf and hard of hearing will be provided
at each of Friday’s events. All events will be held at Access Living, 115 W. Chicago Ave.
The weekend’s main attraction will be a zine exhibition
taking place on Saturday May 9th,
11 am- 6 pm. Over 250 zinesters will exhibit their publications, host
workshops, and lead panel discussions in the spirit of self-publishing. The
exhibition will be held at Plumbers’
Union Hall, 1340 W. Washington Blvd.
Organizing goals for the 2015 fest included increasing the
number of festival exhibitors and forming new community partnerships. In
choosing a new location for the festival exhibition, there has been room for
more tables allowing more exhibitors to showcase their work. The festival
registration filled up in record time this year with all tables selling out in
under an hour. Nearly half of registered exhibitors will be taking part of CZF
for their first time this year. New community partnerships have allowed the
festival to schedule programming topics that meet the festival’s mission and
support the work of its partner organizations.
“CZF strives to offer diverse programming every year in order to continue to engage our communities in conversations,” says festival programming coordinator Julie Koslowsky.

The zine exhibition will be supported with programming
throughout the day including an activity making area, button making presented
by Busy Beaver Buttons, and a photo
booth provided by Glitter Guts.
Workshop topics include radical poetry, interactive performances, resisting
assimilation, and hands-on drawing techniques.
“There's a different experience that we offer at an event like the Chicago Zine Fest where consumers can chat with the zinesters and artists who created the work,” says Koslowsky.

The Chicago Zine Fest is a volunteer-operated event creating
an outlet for small press and independent publishers to showcase their work
aiming to make DIY zine making accessible, highlight the talents of
self-published artists, and give independent artists a chance to interact and
swap skills. The Chicago Zine Fest 2015 is sponsored by 826CHI, Chicago
Publishers Resource Center, CHIRP Radio, InoPrints, The International School of
Comics, Perfectly Acceptable Press, The University of
Chicago Library, and Quimby's Bookstore.

John Bradshaw Offers A Program To Help Couples Rekindle Love And Keep Their Marriage Intact
In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder: John Bradshaw Offers A Program To Help Couples Rekindle Love And Keep Their Marriage Intact
- Research indicates it is actually a serious psychological disorder
that is destroying many relationships today – and obviously why one in
every two marriages fail. World-renowned visionary and New York Times
bestselling author, John Bradshaw, offers a step-by-step program in his
latest book Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD): What to Do When the
Honeymoon is Over (HCI Books, ISBN-13: 9780757318139, $15.95), that
helps couples recapture their love and work towards a healthier
partnership.
With divorce statistics in America indicating that 50% of all first marriages fail, and with even more staggering rates for second or third marriages, it's evident that once the honeymoon period is over many couples feel they have already had the best of the relationship and want to call it quits. Based on John Bradshaw's research, we now know that PRSD is, in fact, a serious psychological disorder that has been helping to destroy many relationships. Bradshaw, a visionary counselor, theologian and bestselling author, offers a unique program to help deepen mature love and intimacy, together with a series of exercises that can help anyone become a better partner.
John's revolutionary approach to the issues that endanger many modern relationships is bringing new hope to couples who don't know how to deal with the emotional swings that exist in almost every marriage. Says John, "As the health of the marriage goes, so goes the health of the family." Couples want to keep the family unit together but just don't know how. PRSD explains the brain circuitry that connects us to love and romance and provides readers the tools necessary to get their marriage back on track.
It was Bradshaw, in his groundbreaking work Homecoming, who helped us understand and heal the wounded and vulnerable "inner child." His dynamic therapies are practiced all over the world. A much sought-out speaker, Bradshaw has truly touched and transformed the lives of millions. Bradshaw's other best-sellers have included Healing the Shame That Binds You and Creating Love. He has combined his exceptional skills in the role of counselor, author, management consultant, theologian, philosopher, and public speaker, to become one of the leading figures in the fields of recovery, family systems, relationships, spiritual and emotional growth and management training.
