lunAcy Distro Mail Order Closed for now.
Find us as Tabling events as listed on this site.
Sorry folks.

memo:
Hello Radical Mental Health folks. I am looking to take a long term possible permanent break from the zine distro. www.radicalmentalhealth.net I have lost my copy hook up due to bad economy and can no longer afford to keep up with the request. In general there are usually 2 -10 orders a month for mail orders. Then I table at various events. there are also at least 6 or 7 zines that have been submitted for distro that i have not been able to get up on the site or make copies of. Ive been working on the project for quite some time and really notice that I am sucking at it as of late so I want to pass the tourch before it smothers. The web site is easy to add to and myself or my friend can help with that. I can give you all the originals and you can make copies and distribute/table add to the collection. I have a short list of zines that should be added – whatever. id still like to help table and do workshops at events thru the distro name…but i can no longer do the mail order or copies.
Any takers?
The distro was recently listed as a reference source in a few bigger zines and a new book called sick – so it seems like a great time to really activate the site.

HEADCASE: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, And Queer (LGBTQ)
Writers and Artists on Mental Illness
Edited by Teresa Theophano, LMSW

Headcase will be an anthology comprised of 15-20 nonfiction pieces by
writers and artists both established and new, exploring the theme of
mental health, mental illness, and mental health care in the lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ)
community. The book is currently being considered for publication by a
major queer press.

The anthology seeks essays, poetry, and comics by queer consumers of
mental health services or queer individuals who have been diagnosed,
but do not identify as patients, with mental illness. Works should
explore the intersection of queerness and mental health and can
include topics such as psychotropics; Gender Identity Disorder and its
acceptance or rejection as a legitimate mental disorder; conventional
v. holistic treatment; experiences in therapy, groups, and/or
institutions; how race and ethnicity, class, sex, gender identity,
age, and disability impact access to treatment; addiction,
self-medicating, and recovery.

Modest compensation provided upon publication to contributors whose
pieces are chosen.

Guidelines:

* Pieces should be between 750 and 1500 words (approximately 3 to 5
double-spaced pages).

* While the deadline for a 2010 publication date has not yet been
established, submitting your piece by December 1, 2009 is recommended.
Descriptions of pieces in progress are also welcome.

* Submissions should be sent as a Microsoft Word document,
double-spaced, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman font.

* Please provide a brief (100 words or less) bio with your submission
