So far in my zine making i have made everything under my real name which is fine bc its my experience but I am very curious about if anybody writes under a pseudonym and how you came up with your alternate name. I think I would like a pseudonym to write under and just wanted to know your all thoughts on it.

Thanks :)

I'm having a zine pack giveaway over on my Instagram! One lucky winner will get Zine packs for 2 friends! Money is tight for everyone these days, so let me help you with your gift giving this year!

I am working on putting together a zine focused on the Gaslands postapocalyptic setting and postapocalyptic vehicle combat in general. ( r/gaslands ) and we are trying to make the zine print on demand and share alike compatible.

I have never done publishing with multiple authors though and am not sure what license would work best to let authors still use their own works if they want in other works, but also so that anyone can print up a copy of the zine and submit it to their local library or game store. I also worry that to comply with creative commons or whatever license we use that we will need to include a bunch of copyright material in what is already looking to be a very space constrained zine (we have at least 14 interested authors and a 64 page zine seems like it might be a bit short).

Any advice on how to do this? Most of the zines I read about here do not care about licensing or legality and seem like more one-off prints, whereas we are hoping for a wider release, as there are 12,000 people on our subreddit and tons more on facebook who are interested in the tabletop game and postapocalyptic stuff in general.

I’ve made two issues of my own zine so far—one in September and another in October—and I'm already working on the third one to share in November.

I’m creating these zines mainly as a way to draw more loosely, almost like a sketchbook, but with a bit more polish and intention. As a tattoo artist, it’s been a lot of fun, and it’s really helped me feel more confident in my work. It’s also given me some artistic direction.

I’m not sure what to do with these zines; right now, I only have the originals and haven’t made copies. Should I? Would it be interesting to offer a few to my clients? I wonder if that would feel like I’m pushing my work on them. I’m not sure what to do, but I’d really love to share this with more people.

If you have any thoughts on this topic, I’d love to hear them. Thanks for reading. 🙏

I’ve really enjoyed making zines lately. Here is my most recent one. If you shoot film and love Kodak Ektar 100, or are new to film and curious about different film stocks, I hope that you will give my zine a look. There are 40+ examples of 35mm & 120 film in all different scenes and scenarios.

OK, so I created a 32-page zine in Apple Pages and used Create Booklet 2 to output .pdf with properly arranged pages for printing as 5.5 x 8.5 foldover zine on letter sized paper. So far, so good!

My library offers monthly free printing credit, so I go there and upload the pdf. Here's where trouble begins.

Library printer does 2-sided printing but interface does not offer the "flip on long edge" option for duplex printing, so when printing out, half the pages are upside down.

Is there a simple method or utility to take existing pdf and reprocess it so it outputs a new pdf with properly oriented pages for duplex printing? I downloaded free trial of acrobat but can't find a way to reprocess pdf to new pdf, and I'd rather not pay for Adobe sub anyway.

Thanks for any help!
