Dear Witch: Advice from the Coven
Every year, our friend group gathers in a big house by Lake Waccamaw to craft, cook, make art, share stories, and celebrate what it means to be a coven.
Let’s create a spell book for witches everywhere, full of our unique wisdom, niche advice, and helpful how-tos. – Chrissy Hennessey
Can I Eat It? Vol. 1 : Fridge Edition
Introducing Volume One of “Can I Eat It?”, a funny and informative food science zine about the things you find in your fridge!
This zine is for those of you who love leftovers, the mystery of the cosmos, and aren’t afraid to ask, “How long do tomatoes last in the fridge? Or black beans? Or bananas? Actually, can I eat the brown part of this banana right now? I’m starving!” It’s a delicious mash up of cool stuff you love, kinda like cooking with leftovers.

A New Font from Old Type
My special summer project to breathe new life into an antique letterpress typeface
I’m very excited to announce I’ve finished designing my very first font! I’ve been dreaming and reading and experimenting for nearly 10 years and I finally came upon the right idea, resulting in my newly released font: SWARTZ GOTHIC. – Daniel ➽ Letterpress Designer
One more thing before you go...
Last week I mentioned that I’ve been quietly building something new for Zinestack.
The short version: I want Zinestack to do more than help people discover great zines. I want it to help support the people who make them, buy more work directly from zine makers, and put more good things on paper into the world.
The newsletter isn’t changing. Zine Mall and Five on Friday will stay free.
But next week, I’ll be introducing a new way to support Zinestack – and receive something real in the mail. 💌
More soon.
Thank you so much, Jen!
