How To Make a Mini Zine with Neither/nor Zine Distro
Neither/nor Zine Distro is owned and operated by Kansas Citian, Jess Hogan. Jess loves making, reading, trading, and collecting zines. That love led her to connect with other local zinesters and work towards establishing KC Zine Con! In November 2015, after the success and connections made at Zine Con #1, she started the Neither/nor Zine Distro. She hopes the distro will be a source for new and old zine makers/enthusiasts to sell their zines and support one another, as well as serve as a zine destination in Kansas City.
To help us celebrate International Zine Month, Jess is sharing a tutorial on how to make a mini zine. You can also read Jess’s full interview in The Beautiful Worst. Post your final zines on Instagram and tag us at @neither_nor_zine_distro and @katieli_writer so we can see your final products!
