  • Printed in the UK on 100% recycled paper
  • A6 (10.5cm x 14.8cm) with 16 pages
  • No plastic packaging

This guide was originally created as a free handout for a zine workshop and has been expanded with all the information and resources you need to create your first zine including content, layout, printing and self-publishing, pricing and selling.

I've been making zines since I was a teenager so I've got lots of tips and advice to share, plus you get to read about some of the zines I've made over the years.

Print Quality

While I check every product, some minor flaws and small differences are to be expected. This could include the dimensions or number of pages, colour shifts, natural flaws in paper/fabric and/or tiny marks that do not affect important parts of the design (e.g. text/face).
