“Broken Pencil is the entertaining, indispensable guide to zines.” – the Toronto Star

Hi! We're Broken Pencil Magazine!

We've been around since 1995 and are all about zine culture, the underground, and independent creative action.

We publish four times a year and each issue features:

  • reviews of hundreds of zines and small press books
  • comics, interviews, original fiction
  • excerpts from the best of the underground press
  • commentary on all aspects of the indie arts

From the hilarious to the perverse, Broken Pencil challenges conformity and demands attention.

We're excited to try out Steemit and see where things take us!

Hello and welcome to steemit.

Hello Broken Pencil, and Welcome to Steemit.

Your mag looks intriguing. And with Steemit, you'll have a great platform to increase your exposure.


Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit. (Although as a mag, you probably have your own template and content, so you may find some of my generic points below irrelevant.)

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
  4. Be yourself.
  5. Be interesting and informative.
  6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
  7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
