Description:

This is Wikipedia's definition of a zine:

"A zine (/ˈziːn/ ZEEN; an abbreviation of fanzine, or magazine) is most commonly a small circulation self-published work of original and/or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced via photocopier.

A popular definition includes that circulation must be 1,000 or less, although in practice the significant majority are produced in editions of less than 100, and profit is not the primary intent of publication."


For this swap you will have 2 partners and you will make them 1 poetry zine. This swap will be US Only.

For this swap, we will not be doing a mini-zine, but a full size (8 1/2 x 5 1/2). You can have as many pages as you want, but you must have at least 2 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper front and back in your zine - for a total of 8 pages including cover and back.

The poetry can be any subject, any style and must be your own. Your cover page should have a title, your name and maybe some type of decoration/photo. The back page can be contact info.

One question... since the technical version of a "zine" is the photocopied version that is handed out, are we to make an original, keep that ourselves and hand out the two photocopied versions as would normally be done? Or are we supposed to make 2 different originals?

Breezy, I don't know if you've received your answer privately, but she means to photocopy one original zine. :)
