Let’s kick this week off with an oldie but a goodie overview from : What in the sam-heck is a zine?
A comprehensive overview of not just what they are, also a bit of history, a dash of how, and the why behind zines.
Next up, a twist on the traditional mini-zine format from : The Tall Zine: a Tutorial for a Silly One-Page Zine Variation

ICYMI, last week we tabled at the Chicago Zine Fest!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to see us at Chicago Zine Fest this past weekend. Chris and I had a great time at an amazing venue with an awesome turnout. Couldn’t ask for a better first time tabling experience.
If you couldn’t make it to Chicago, we’ve got you covered. We put together three Zine Boxes so you can experience a little bit of the fest from home — Chicago Zine Fest, delivered to your door.
Details are coming in this Sunday’s Makeist newsletter. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it!
looking forward to seeing your table in person someday :')
Thanks so much for the shoutout! <3
