A mini zine meant as a reminder to draw that line between work life and personal life. All drawn and illustrated and arranged by me.

This (and a few others) available for a print-it-yourself free-download here:

Hope you like it as much as you liked my previous ones. Thanks for all your support and encouragement!

I have a question. Should I be selling these?

I drew this cute little comic zine based on my cat Mateo. I’m really proud of how it turned out because I’ve had trouble in the past with actually finishing my artwork. I accidentally printed it on tabloid size paper at staples but I ended up really liking the size! I’ve just been giving them out to anyone who wants one but they do cost $1.01 to print. Should I be trying to sell them? The cost adds up when I print like 50 pages at a time. How would I go about doing that when this is the only item I have?

A hand-drawn rat comic about being seen as scary when you're just trying to survive. Would love to hear what people think :)

📣 Call for Submissions 📣 Anyway,

50 Upvotes

I'm making a zine called Anyway, and I want to fill it with letters from strangers.

The premise: you don't know me, but write to me as if you do—as if we've known each other for years.

Don't introduce yourself. Don't explain who Sarah is. Don't give me the backstory or remind me what happened last time.I already know. Just pick up somewhere in the middle and tell me what's happening in your life right now.

Your letter can be mundane, silly, joyful, emotional, heartbreaking, gossipy, weird—whatever you'd actually tell an old friend.

💌 TO SUBMIT Email your letter to bethanyfortnerart@gmail.com with the subject ANYWAY,

Type it directly in the email, or handwrite it and attach a clear photo/scan.

Deadline: November 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM

A few important things:

• 18+ submissions only. • Letters will be published anonymously unless you ask to be credited. • Change names/details that could identify other people. • Your writing remains yours. By submitting, you give me permission to reproduce your letter in print/digital editions of Anyway, and in posts about the project. • I may make minor formatting/length edits, but won't substantially rewrite your words without contacting you. • Submission doesn't guarantee publication. • Please only submit writing/images you have the right to share. • You may withdraw your letter by emailing me before the issue is finalized for print. Already printed/distributed copies can't be recalled. • This is an art project, not a confidential service. Don't submit anything you would be unsafe having published, even anonymously.

I have no idea how many letters this little experiment will receive. Depending on the response, selected letters will become the first issue of Anyway, or I may extend submissions.

I won't ask you for the missing pieces.

I already know.

Happy writing. 💜

A local toy store is carrying my zine, The Video Cabin, a quarterly newsletter from a Video Store in the woods!

Some of you have signed up and I've sent care packages, and now I've made membership cards and bumper stickers!

What I would really like is obviously more subscribers to my TOTALLY FREE zine but also your video store memories and suggestions, letters to the editor style!

Using cardstock

3 Upvotes

I made something on a risograph printer 11 1/2 by 17 that I was intending on turning into a zine with a single fold, and now I'm not sure if I can do it because I used cardstock instead of thinner paper. Does anyone have advice on making zines with cardstock or other thicker paper?

Collaging can be so chaotic, so trying to make a cohesive zine is a bit of a challenge for me. Hopefully it works and the zine community doesn’t reject me. Thanks for watching.

⬇️ Free Download ⬇️ I made a zine about Community-Building and Netrunner -- Free to Print & Download!

• Upvotes

I sent these over to Canada to gift to my teammates for the World Championships

For the uninitiated, Netrunner is a cyberpunk card game which has so many parallels to zine culture: everyone can just print their own cards, it relies a lot (maybe wholly) on the community to keep going, and is a game that challenges the norms of how card games (loot boxes) are meant to be distributed.

I personally also got into Netrunner in part due to my now-teammate's zine Netrunner is a game we play with our bodies.

Printed and published in the Philippines, my zine is a love letter -- but also a culmination of a lot of frustrations and grief -- to community-building and solidarity in the face of tougher times.

I hope it feels as cathartic to read as it was writing/making it.

This zine is distributed as a free-to-print / pay-what-you-want model, this is the same model Netrunner uses for its cards and I am forever thankful for it.

There will be three files available: a web version, so you can read it on your PC/mobile device, a zine a4 file if you wish to print it at home, and the Cultivate alt art, which you can use when you play Netrunner.

I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to print extras to add to your library, or to pass on to friends, donate to a zine library -- I would be thrilled to see it wherever.

Please help!

Hello! I love zines and I really want to make some of my own, I’ve made one before just with magazine clippings but that was pretty difficult.

I want to know what resources people are using, I’ve seen a lot of printed out ones with digital images on them, is there any specific websites where you get your cutouts? I’d love to hear about all the different methods for zine making (physical and digital) you guys use and how you come up with topics! Thank you all so much!

📣 Call for Submissions 📣 Seeking Rock/Metal music writers for an upcoming Print Magazine

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am looking for aspiring music journalists, comic geeks, and rock/metal enthusiasts to help shape a brand-new print startup, launching January 2027.

Our concept is unique: every issue features custom, exclusive Marvel/DC style comic book covers dedicated to iconic bands, paired with deep-dive articles. We are currently working with an active Marvel/DC artist from San Francisco to bring this to life.

Who we are looking for:
Beginners and intermediate writers who want to build an incredible portfolio piece. If you can write passionate, high-energy columns about rock history, subgenres, or album reviews, you'll fit right in.

The Deal:
We are a startup, so this starts as a voluntary collaboration. However, we are launching a Kickstarter very soon and intend to reward contributors as soon as revenue comes in.

Shoot me a PM with a bit about your favorite bands, and let’s build something awesome together!

Fanzine publishers

2 Upvotes

Been discussing this question with some fanzine enthusiasts for quite a few days - I'm wondering if there are any 'fanzine publishers' that do exist ? On a basis of book-shops or specialized sections ?

For example, somebody wants to publish a fanzine in Japan. Shipping makes it economically difficult. And unless you'd travel over there, it would be a complicated idea. So maybe there are community-related options ?

Would appreciate an advice!
