This page is so inspirational. So many fantastic minds out there! Trying to make a first edition of a zine for a clothing brand I'm working for. Any tips in terms of manufacturing (they'll come free with every purchase so will have a fair few copies) and all-round zine tricks and etiquette (if any)?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm one of the creators of Leaflet, a collaborative doc/publishing tool, and I wanted to share that we're hosting Zine Week this week to experiment with making digital zines!

Leaflet is a simple app where you can make rich text docs with links and images, add nested pages that open side by side, and even use visual canvases for more freeform layouts. Also super easy to share & create things with no account needed.

Just kicked this off yesterday (forgot to post here earlier!) but going all week; we'll have a coworking chat tmrw (Weds) and a show and tell Friday. Async participation also very welcome, if you want to make something & share the link with us later.

Right now I'm working on a couple ideas, a zine inspired by my first year of parenthood, and one collecting reading and personal library exercises. A few others are working on some fun ideas too!

Would love to have you join, very casual and totally free. Details + RSVP link here.

And if you'd like to invite friends to make something…I'm excited to potentially see some collaborative publishing experiments :)

Hey All! I am getting https://okprisonbooks.com/ up and running after a hiatus. I am almost done packing up a big batch of books to take to Mabel Bassett in Oklahoma. Several women want books that are about crafting, drawing, journal prompts, tarot, dreams. or astrology and I don't have any books to fit the bill on those. I do have books for everyone since they send a list of the genres of books they like, but if I can I try to get a mix for them. I am sending each person three books and a composition notebook.

If anyone has made a zine made that can be printed out on a letter-size printer on any of those or related topics I'd love if you would DM me pdfs for me to print and send if you have something on these topics you don't mind me printing/sharing with a few women. One of the things I really love is that people will trade their books with others so your kindness will shared by many.

So I'm in charge of an art club at my community center, and I want to do a workshop on zines! I'm going to touch on the history and how to make a bunch of different kinds, and I was wondering if anyone was willing to donate some zines as examples! The club is for teens and adults, and the zines will stay with the club as a resource members can access/reference. I'm also happy to trade some I've made if you'd like. Already made or printable files are both fine 💚

Hi! Patreon started allowing gifting memberships, and to show our appreciation we're giving away a month of our Gamer-tier. This membership gets you digital keys for all of our (analog/tabletop/TTRPG) games and zines on Itch.io as we release them on Itch, plus 15 of our most recent ones. Of those 15, 7 are digital zines with printable files :D

You can get it here --> https://www.patreon.com/BethAndAngelMakeGames/redeem/D50A2

You DO have to have a Patreon account (or make one), but NO PAYMENT INFO IS REQUIRED. If you already have payment info linked to your Patreon account, it's super easy (a single checkmark) to make sure there's never a payment.

We'd love it if you join and check out our work, even if you never plan to pay anything. We genuinely care far more about getting more people to check out our work than anything else.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, or at least that the cold doesn't freeze you 😅🧡🥶

I used to release fanzine regularly, had made 16 issues from 2005-2019. But since the pandemic, I haven't done anything on that scale zine-wise. I've released a couple mini-zines here and there, but since the start of this year, I've been trying to regain some of that enthusiasm and make another full zine issue again (and maybe more along the way...). So this is (sort of) a plea for help...

If anyone in here have digital copies of their zine they can send my way to hopefully read and review, please drop me a message.

If you're a zine maker and have been regularly releasing a zine before and after the pandemic, I want to talk to you and make a little interview.

If you're in a band or can recommend a band I should check out, please do so and it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a whole lot. Hope to hear from all of you. :)

Hey I'm currently working on my first zine. It's a writing project - half zine/half literary magazine about the people's relationship with the internet and technology at large.

Does anyone know of any similar zines they'd recommend for inspiration? Also any advice on getting starting and how to make this would be appreciated lol

Hello! I've been collecting zines over the years and from different countries (mostly Europe) and today I've opened an Instagram account to share them all. I also post the names of the creators and the shops where I bought them. If you want to check it out and find new artists and places, you can find me as @guisantecrocrante

Feel free to write me about your own zines so I can buy and collect more stuff and try to build a community there too (:
