Description:
Whether you are new to zines or a pro, this is a swap to share your unique mini-zine and also send each other your comments. This is a great way to start out if you are new to this or help each other with ideas and tips. In this swap you will create a mini-zine and send to 5 partners. Can be color or black-and-white, pics or text, whatever you like! Format is also your choice - make it unique to you!! Journal style, mini-articles, photos, recipes, news, opinions, absolutely anything goes!! Newbies are welcome, we all had to start somewhere!! Just no flakers please. I will angel if needed but it shouldn't even be an issue right?? O:) Here is a nifty template for the mini-zine (not required but an easy way to get started!): http://www.knowledgeup.com/2007/11/05/diy-mini-8-page-pocket-zine/ or check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh1W15BWCUk (or you can use your own format if you like! hand made, printed, copied, whatever!)

what size is it when a mini zine ends and a regular zine begins? Just curious. Looking forward to this swap :D

That's definitely up to you - most people make zines that can fit in a standard envelope or card. You can do whatever you like, just remember that you will have 5 people to mail them to :)

cool.. I made a zine recently that was A6 (quarter sized) though not sure if that size counts as a mini.. I will think about this

when are partners going to be announced?

Sorry that it took me a few extra days to announce partners, there was a death in the family and I have been out-of-town this week. Thanks for understanding!!

Anyone who is receiving a zine from me please note I will be shipping them the 2nd as my editor just got me the last two stories last night. My zine is something we just started and I am not the writer so please bare with me. The Zine site is http://www.etsy.com/shop/doggiewoggiezine. See the September issue at my site http://www.andrealfitts.com/2bookszines/index.html.
