Global Mail's "How to make a zine"
This is just a sample of the content found on this website. Please visit the website to read the entire page.
"HOW TO MAKE A ZINE [ Editor's Note , August 2000: This classic text once
appeared on the Global Mail site maintained by Ashley Parker Owens.
It dates from 1995. Although some sections, particularly those
listing postal addresses, are outdated, it contains many valuable
tips about publishing a paper zine. If you're interested in mail
art, check out A Mail Artist's Anthology
or the Electronic Museum of Mail Art . Global Mail is
no longer published.] A lot of new zine makers do not understand the nuts and bolts
process of constructing a zine. These guidelines are meant to be both helpful and inspirational.
You should never feel that you have to follow a bunch of rules
when making a zine. If you look closely, you will find many "broken"
rules in successful publications. You must always consider your
budget and time before making decisions. Most of this is based on personal experience and many, many
failures. Never get discouraged. You can only learn by doing,
and you learn the most from your mistakes. If you have any questions or comments, please forward them
and I'll include them in the next issue. You may be interested in these related Websites: Mail Art Info Sheet Global Mail (Sept.-Dec. '95) Website links Underground Press Conference '95 SECTIONS: Technical Tips for Zine Makers, Ashley
