Roach Motel is a zine distro that was founded in early 2013 by local author/artist Kristin M. Roach by partnering with an Ames indie boutique called Where It's At. The distro specializes in Iowa authored and themed zines + slice of life, comic style, gardening, crafting, creativity, diy, homesteading, and animals. Though they admit to pretty much trying to sell anything you make. Their online store will be opening April 1st, 2013. They are currently looking for new zines to sell on consignment and wholesale.
