Zine Makers

are the

Roots

What Zine Makers Do:

  • Research, create, and format Zine Originals for listing at libraries

  • Test-print their creations to ensure they are formatted correctly

  • Submit them to libraries in their region and surrounding regions for community redistribution

  • Print and distribute (if they feel like it :)

  1. Download the Instructions and Template from the documents section

  2. Fill it up with your chosen subject

  3. Submit it to a library that accepts that format - check their submission standards first!
