Pocket Zine Email Swap - April 2020

Electronic, but it's time-intensive because you have to make a zine. You will email rather than snail-mail our zines.

Turn one page into an 8-page pocket zine.

Any theme/topic, whatever inspires you.

If you have never made a zine, check these links for instructions:

• Creating mini zines out of a single sheet of paper
• Making a zine mini book
• How to make a mini zine electronically

My Powerpoint zine template.

Feel free to use it if you'd like to make your zine digitally.

Inspiration:

• Instagram: #stayhomemakezines
• Austin Kleon (author of Steal Like an Artist)

Make your zine, scan it (you will need your own scanner device at home), and email it to all swap members. When you receive other member's zines, print and construct your zine at home and add to your collection :) No postage required, because you do not snail-mail your pocket zine.

The number of swap partners will be equal to the number who sign up, that way everyone gets to see all of the zines. I can provide an email list to anyone that wants a quick copy n paste to their email bcc field.

I will private swap with unrated newbies and members under 4.99 who are in good standing. Private message me or leave a comment on my profile.

I check that all zines have been rated. I expect everyone to email their zine by the 'last day to send your items' date (April 10). When all is sent and rated I will add a 'finished' stamp and a photo of the zines to the discussion section.
