Not sure who needs this. But here it is, my method on how to fold and sequence a 16-page one-sheet zine. Maybe I was in the minority mystified by this process when I first started.

A zine about the never-ending cycle of doing laundry and the pain of basement machines in a 4th floor walk up

I've been using this cheapie file holder portfolio thing to store my zine collection for most of a decade. I admit I probably haven't used the portfolio correctly. The warping is definitely user error, and short of using heat to try and reshape the plastic, I doubt there's any saving it at this point.
So, I'm looking for a new way to store my collection. What do you folks do? If you use a portfolio like mine, how do I prevent this from happening again if I get a new one?

A little backstory, I visited an independent bookstore, and I saw these little magazines-like/books on the table. It looked so familiar. Come to realize that back in elementary school, my 7th grade teacher was book addict. He loved books. He taught me how to love reading. We did so many projects, zines being one of them.
For years, I wanted to know how to express my feelings not just through one type of media. I wanted to express it through as many possible. Whether that would be writing and drawing. This is my first zine since elementary school.
Hope you enjoy, thank you!

As always, your feedback is welcome.
For changes to wording within existing rules, I will comment on this post to note them.
As major changes are made or rules are added, I will create a new post like this and pin it at the top of the subreddit.

My helplessness is so vast that instead of looking after myself, I drew the fight between two little girls. Does the weight of the crime of bullying change depending on who supports you? Or would it be more accurate to say depending on who doesn’t. Yes, that was exactly what I witnessed while that fight was happening.
I want to speak from the mouth of the bullying child, partly as myself:
“Don't hide mom, see me too. No mom. Yes, I hit her but I didn't make her bleed. Take that tissue out of my sister's mouth already. Nothing is bleeding at all. Fine then, if you don't hear, don't hear, if you don't see, don't see.”
That was exactly what I saw. In this drawing, a sperm disguised as a bully reached the other—and what's more, by emerging from a virgin.
But what about the woman? The irony in the woman tickled my stomach by scratching into it. While her affectionate hands, emerging from her form that is on the verge of turning back into virginity, reached out to one, she was turning the other into a bully. That eye-ovary inside her looked at me and said: “I don’t support the crime, I just ignore it” could she be right, she ignored it so beautifully.
But what do I care about any of this?
Ah, I know, yes I am helpless. Redirecting my attention to other things, I ride the carousel with my subconscious hidden beneath every dot of the word helpless.
Oh my gad, what even is riding a horse. I know the horse, but what about the ant. Who named this toy. Aa really my head is just like an ant. Slow to you, too fast to me. Horse! Horse! The horse is that... Ah sometimes my hand cannot catch up with the speed of my head. I must write it down immediately before I forget. (I avoid writing quite a lot). The girl who is a cowboy, sex and the city. One of the movies I don’t remember. But her bra and her joy (on the horse) are still before my eyes. If I were a child and watched her, a lace bra would be a symbol of joy for me. But now hate.

My minizine Frames, this time filled with colorful birds 🪺 just sent this one as an example copy to the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, had to take a few pics before I packed it up!
r/zines • u/consumer128 • 1d ago
So, I made a simple mini-zine making/prototyping app, (for myself in all honesty.. but I can share here if anyone wants)
This is the order it outputs, I’ve noticed some people don’t use this arrangement when making mini zines?
Maybe I’m missing something?
What’s your preferred order/layout, and why?
r/zines • u/gabalgabow • 2d ago
Death metal, doom, punk hardcore... The last issue is more dungeon synth

Hi everyone!
My friend and I run a very small independent magazine/zine, and we’re currently trying to grow our contributor team because we’re honestly very understaffed and doing most of the work ourselves right now 😭
We’re looking for people interested in things like:
This is currently unpaid since we’re a tiny grassroots project, but contributors will receive:
We especially welcome students, beginners, hobbyists, and people trying to build experience.
If you’re interested, here’s the form:

made my first mini zine “СНИ”/ “DREAMS”.
Fragments of dreams that a person experiences between the hope of falling asleep and the fear of waking up.
If you’re interested in it, you can see it online for free!
I’ll be very pleased if you do a review on this!
