International Zine Month 2021: Week 4


We’re nearing the end of International Zine Month! Here’s a recap of week 4: Day 19 – Zine Distro Appreciation Day! Tell people about your favorite zine distros! Order zines from a distro. Didn’t we just cover distros? I’m feeling a little bit of déjà-zine. 😉 That being said, there’s never a wrong time to talk about shoppin’ for zines. My local distro Neither/nor – who I featured during Week 2’s distro prompt – is fantastic, and I also really love buying zines from Portland Button Works, Wasted Ink, and Vampire Hag. Day 20 – Tell someone about something you learned in a zine. This prompt was a great opportunity to […]

Any and all of the titles by these zinesters are great reads! Day 12 – ZineWiki Day! It’s a wiki just for zines! Add to or update listings to the new and improved zinewiki.com Well this prompt was […]

International Zine Month 2021: Week 2


And just like that, we’ve reached the end of the first full week of International Zine Month! The prompts this week were fantastic inspiration, and I’m so excited to share how I celebrated with y’all: Day 4 – AmeriZine Day! Explore marginalized voices in the Americas. Buy, share, and read zines about racial justice and zines written by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) from the Americas. This day was a great opportunity to revisit some of my favorite zines, such as Doomed from Alexa Lima’s Ulterior Zines, and issues of Cyclista Zine — titles from both of these projects are featured in my latest Zine Reviews video, but more […]

International Zine Month 2021: Week 1


Happy International Zine Month, y’all! 🌸✂️ International Zine Month is an interactive celebration of all things zines created by Stolen Sharpie Revolution author (and prolific zinester) Alex Wrekk. Each year, they release a great calendar of activities and prompts so you can get involved in the festivities! I love celebrating IZM, and I’m planning on featuring a handful of the prompts here on the blog, as well as on Zine Reviews. Here’s how I responded to the first few prompts: Day 1 – What is a zine? Come up with a concise definition in your own words and share it with others. I tend to stick with “Zines are diy publications […]
