Welcome to the Zine Research Guide! The resources in this guide have been curated to meet your zine needs.
"So, what is a zine?? There’s no official definition, but most will agree it’s a self-published work that has a limited print run (which can range from just a few copies to around 5,000 copies). Zines are usually created with the intention not to profit monetarily but to share one’s thoughts, feelings, creativity, experience, and/or knowledge with others. Zines are part of a DIY (do it yourself) culture which often includes people from marginalized communities or those who don’t have access to more mainstream publishing options."
