Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine?
Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine?: The Art of Making Zines and Minicomics | Mark Todd, Esther Watson
5 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
A zine is a handmade magazine or mini-comic about anything you can imagine: favorite bands, personal stories, subcultures, or collections. They contain diary entries, rants, interviews, and stories. They can be by one person or many, found in stores, traded at comic conventions, exchanged with friends, or given away for free. Zines are not a new idea: theyve been around for years under various names (chapbooks, flyers, pamphlets). People with independent ideas have been getting their word out since before there were printing presses. This book is for anyone who wants to create their own zine. Its for learning tips and tricks from contributors who have been at the fore front of the zine movement. Its for getting inspired to put thoughts and ideas down on paper. Its for learning how to design and print your own zine so you can put it in others hands. Whatcha Mean, Whats a Zine? is for anyone who has something to say.

Today was another excellent day for visiting my local library's #zine collection! These are some that I actually checked out and brought home with me! Zines about life, book lists, crushes, music and more. #diy #library

Any Zinesters on my Litsy? I love self publishing! Today was the Twin Cities Zine Fest! I volunteered as an organizer this year and had a blast! Tho not as much as previous years, I traded and received a lot of really cool stuff that I‘m looking forward to reading! Anyone else make zines or have a fave self publisher?

RaimeyGallant I love zine fests. 6y
Addison1 Woot! My goals are to make it to the Chicago zine fest and Omaha zine fest in the next couple years. Any gems near you that are worth the journey? 6y

A bunch of us St. Louisans have put together a five volume (so far!) zine called Take Comfort Take Care, for everyone coping with this election. We'll be distributing them around town, and they're all available to print for free at https://tctcstl.wordpress.com/ Please feel free to share/print/distribute, and please share with or contact me if you make your own or would like to contribute. #overit #SelfCare #solidarity
