Seasonal lures for the long term
Broken Pencil, the magazine about zine and indie culture, has come up with a couple of nifty package deals to push longer-term subs this holiday season.
One package at $30 gets a 2-year sub (8 issues), a copy of Hal Niedzvecki's book Hello I'm Special: How Individuality became the New Conformity and a set of 5 BP pins. The other, at $28 has a 2-year sub, one copy each of earlier Niedzviecki books Smell It and Lurvy and one Spoken Broken CC, an anthology of spoken word performances.
(It also sells the magazine by itself, $15 for a one year sub (4 issues) and $10 for each subsequent gift.)
As the magazine's pitch so artfully says:

Don't disappoint with a lame order of corporate dreck from some box store! Amaze and delight with the awesome underground arts info in every huge issue of Broken Pencil -- Canada and North America's only guide to zine culture and the independent arts.

I heard a couple months back, from a couple of upset long time zine-makers, that Niedzvecki fired his last editor when she was way-pregnant. Is this true? Would be a shame if he was trying to be all Walrus on the zine world.
