COLEMAN
INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER · 40 ZINES AND COUNTING
Victor prints the city back onto paper: markets, bus routes, corner shops. His keynote is a love letter to local briefs — and proof that small print runs can pay rent.

ABOUT VICTOR
Victor started with a photocopier in a Brixton basement and a simple beat: one street per issue. Twelve years later his titles stock in shops on four continents, still printed within five miles of home.
He brings the maths nobody shares — print costs, wholesale cuts, the issue that flopped — plus a suitcase of back issues you can buy at his table.
