The Newcastle Zine and Independent Press Fair (2000-) is one of the largest events of its kind in the world, and certainly the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Drawing together all manner of zinesters, comics nerds, general artists and small / independent publishers, it takes place as part of the National Young Writers' Festival, which itself is part of the ever sprawling This Is Not Art Festival.

The zine fair is organised by a member of the Australian zine community each year. In 2005, Susy Pow

The Fair brings together a huge array of zinesters, comics kids, independent publishers, presents workshops, panels and forums.
