I will send you a print copy of my zine, ‘A reminder to pay the electricity bill,’ if you donate at least INR 500 to the Free Libraries Network.
‘A reminder to pay the electricity bill’ is a collection of poetry and prose written by Meera Ganapathi and illustrated by Harshita Borah. The zine is a curation of writing from Meera’s Instagram (@onemeerkat), created to gather funds for covid relief during the worst of the second wave of the pandemic. The zines sold out and proceeds were donated in their entirety. A limited number of copies are now available to gather funds for the Free Libraries Network.
The zines will be mailed to postal addresses in India.
