Accordion Zines

AKA "concertina" zines, these can be viewed book-like or stretched out to view all the pages at once.

What on earth is a zine? We are so glad you asked. A zine represents a range of small-batch, DIY, "magazine-like" publications. They come in many styles in format, binding and sizes. Apparently there are no rules which sounds good to her. (Pronounced zeen, although you will catch Nina pronouncing it zīn, poor thing, she can't help it.)

Why zines? How lovely is this? Self-publishing via zines has been an interesting and educational way to share things I'm passionate about. For good or ill, it's been a way to get my feet wet unhindered by the pressures and censorship of mass marketing, or the looming specter an overbearing editor (of my own fabrication or otherwise).
