DIY Zines
Reach people who don't already follow you on social media. Distribute freely.
Printing instructions
Each copy gives you 4 zines. Start with 25 copies, which will take you about an hour to turn into 100 zines.
- Print the Print PDF double-sided on Legal paper, which is 8.5 x 14".
You may want to do a test print. Some default printer setups make the reverse side upside down, and will need to be adjusted. "Short Edge Binding" is the setting you are looking for. - Keep the pages in order. They come out ready to stack and cut.
- Cut into quarters.
Your local print shop will often be able to do this for you very neatly. - Fold each zine in half as a unit, not individual sheets.
- Staple the binding.
Distribute these to Little Free Libraries, local businesses (with permission), or directly to your neighbors.
If you know of zine-worthy content that will spur people to think and act politically, let me know so I can typeset it and make it available here.
