No, we’re not dead yet …

Only resting, as Graeme Chapman would say. Things have been pretty quiet in the COD pond these last few months, mostly due to other commitments.

We will, however be showcasing COD as part of the upcoming Emerging Writers Festival in Melbourne. Come down to the Victoria Hotel in Little Collins St (just behind the Melbourne Town Hall on Swanston St) on Sunday May 8 for the Zine and Independent Publishers' Trade Fair (11am-4pm) where you can check out the wares of zinesters and independent publishers (including COD).

Also on that day, from 3:30-4:30pm, check out the panel session entitled Independent Publishers: Alternative Publications, Alternative Views? Are independent publishers harnessing heretofore unheard voices? Join facilitator, pin-up boy and Festival organiser Terry Jaensch as he grills Shannon Cane, Lou Swinn, COD flounder David Prater and Barry Scott.
