Why Zines?
Books often require professional publishing, following set standards—mass production, meticulous crafting, and refinement.Zines, on the other hand, are entirely different. They put the power of expression in everyone’s hands. With just a piece of paper and a pen, anyone can create a zine. There’s no need for complicated processes or approval from publishing elites.We encourage anyone passionate about self-expression to start creating zines!
