What's a Zine?
A zine (pronounced ZEEN, short for magazine) is a self-published piece of print work that is usually produced in small batches. Think of it as a DIY magazine. Zines come in
a huge variety of different topics and interests: art, poetry, photography, literature, politics, social justice issues, humor, and more.
Zines are known for being easily reproduced at a low cost. Anyone can make a zine using a piece of paper, some folding, and a photocopier!
