zine club
I was email chatting with B, and she brought up a really cool question about online zine clubs. I shared a few places where I hang out online for zines, but there isn't really a little "club" that I know of to chat all things zines. Like: tools, questions/feedback, sharing process and pics, or bouncing ideas off each other.
Sometimes zine making can feel a bit lonely, so feeling a part of a group can be really fun, and encouraging.
There are a few Discord places and Reddit channels that I like, but they sometimes feel a bit busy/big that my introverted self gets a little shy about sharing these types of things. Writing on my blog and on my Kofi page is still a way I love to share, but when it comes to gathering like-minded makers, I feel like there are no simple platforms for this.
Tumblr has "communities" now, which actually could be fun. Like a tiny Bearblog zine space? Hehe.
I'll have to think about it. If anyone has any ideas/feedback or knows of any online "club spaces" that are low-pressure, pls email me :)
I added a digital version of my zine How To Share Your Zines Without Social Media in my Kofi shop.
I like to send extra little treats through the mail with my zine orders, but I know sometimes it's just easier to print them at home!
