Description:

This is a quick-fix swap for old-hands at mini-zines, or the perfect place to start if the world of zines is new to you.

What's a zine? It's basically a magazine that you've made yourself. It could include a story, artwork, general ramblings, recipes, project ideas, poetry, anything else you can think of - the contents & layout are entirely up to you. It can be a mix of things, or focused just on one thing.

This swap has an open theme, which means you can choose exactly what you like for your subject. Write about it/illustrate it, turn it into a mini-zine, send it to your partners.

For the sake of simplicity, this swap is for a 'traditional' mini-zine (e.g. 8 mini pages folded down from 1 A4/letter-size page). Then it's up to you whether you hand-write (then photocopy), or type & print your mini-masterpiece. The format is small, but the creative possibilities are as big as your imagination!

A4 fold-down mini-zine
letter-size fold-down mini-zine
simple instructions for folding/cutting your mini zine

I'm allowing lots of time for sign-up & send-by so that newbies have time to figure it all out & we all have time to play with ideas :-).

3 partners = 3 mini zines sent & 3 mini zines received.

This is a group swap for members of Zines, Mail Art & other cool stuff. I've checked people's ratings as they've joined the group, but I will check through again before partners are assigned, to do my best to avoid disappointment in this swap. Please only sign up if you have both the time & inclination to complete the swap!
