About Zines

A zine (short for fan magazine) is a broad term for a self-published, non-commercial print work. Zinesters (people who make zines) are more about self-expression or artistic zeal than they are about profit. Zines are typically inexpensive, traded for other zines or goods, or distributed for free.

Zines can be about anything from Dante Basco to how to change a tire. Any medium can be used to create a zine physically or digitally, and any structure can be used! I typically make folded paper zines but there are a lot of other options.
