Hi, zine maker! I put together these resources to help you on your zine journey. These are just videos/advice on what I personally do, but always know you can make zines however you see fit. There are no right or wrong ways to go about binding, scanning, distributing, selling, or creating your zines so feel free to use this information as you will. Have fun x Bre
