Here they are — most of the zines that I’ve written. Some of them are even available for purchase. Please keep in mind that I am a Real Person, not an eCommerce business: I can’t guarantee that your order will arrive in 2 business days, but I will do my best to get your zines in the mail in a timely fashion, shipped in a envelope decorated with stickers and stamps. You sure aren’t gonna get that from Bezos… so damn the man, buy some zines, and keep DIY alive! 😉 All of my zines are priced on a sliding scale. You can order my zines online straight from the source […]

Alert! I am currently taking a break from reviewing zines on my Youtube channel and from trading zines. Thanks for understanding!Want to know when I am open to trading zines again? Sign up for my Email list to stay in the loop In September 2019, I became the curator of @zines.diy. Originally called @zinereviews, the page features — you guessed it – reviews of zines. I’ve since branched into sharing zine mail videos on my Youtube channel as part of the First Impression Zine Review series. Do you publish a zine you think I should read? When my P.O.

This page will be updated as often as I feel like with zines resources to help you write, consume and enjoy zines and zine culture.

Zine workshops, classes, or panels are a great way to build community, unleash creativity, and spark inspiration. I’d love the opportunity to teach your students, friends, neighbors, members, etc. about writing and crafting zines! During a catmothcrow workshop, I help students discover their voice as they work to create their very own zines. My accessible and dynamic lesson plans, tutorials, and workbooks can be customized to fit a bevy of topics; past workshops have touched on everything from social justice to classical music to healing through writing. (Got an idea for a zine-centric workshop, class, or panel? Let’s talk about it!) I can even host virtual workshops over Zoom, an accessible, […]

From perfectly-scrappy cut-n-paste layouts, to unexpected typeface choices and interesting paper stocks, zines are an innately visual medium, and I love how using video allows me to take viewers inside the pages and show off what makes each zine special.
