what is a zine?

The above image sums it up pretty well, but if you’d like some more details, read on!

A zine (pronounced ‘zeen’) is a mini-magazine and sometimes larger d-i-y publication containing information, entertainment, arts, and more. It can be quickly made using a few folds of paper, one pair of scissors, and a pen or marker, OR more time spent perfect-binding, saddle stitiching, or any other method of book-binding.

The possibilities are endless! What goes into a zine is up to you!
