Description:

This is a US swap for new/unrated swappers (with fully filled out profiles) and well rated, seasoned swappers!

What is a zine? - it's a tiny, handmade magazine.

1 partner, ONE or TWO minizines to your partner, both zines must be made by you but can be high quality copies. If you are new to minizines, you only need to make and send one but if you are on a roll, feel free to send two minizines. All that is required is one.

Your zine(s) can be any medium (HD/HP, collage, digital, Powerpoint, Word, etc as long as it's your artwork) and can be either the original or a high quality copy. ONE zine should be made from 1 8 1/2 x 11 sheet or A4 of paper OR accordion folded and illustrated on both sides so it's about the same size as a folded zine. If you are sending two zines, the other zine can be the same size or a super mini zine.

Please be sure you have not sent either zine to your partner. Senders choice so start your zines now! You can find tutorials here and here

Can a ‘zine be smaller than one made from 8.5 x11”? I’d like to make a mini minizine & a very small accordion ‘zine.

@vagardengirl - the first zine you send must be a regular size minizine from an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper but if you send two zines, the other one can be a super mini.

Hi, I make my zines using Canva, not by hand are those welcome?

@UnbirthdayAngel - yes any medium is fine as long as it is your own original work! I use Powerpoint and Word sometimes!
