What is a zine?

Zines are small circulation, self-published books that can be about literally anything. They can be written word (prose, poetry, articles), images (art/design books, comics, photography, collage), or any combination of the two! The term was coined in 1940 in the science-fiction fanzine community, but have roots to pamphlets/leaflets being used in a similar manner since the start of printing. Being very DIY in nature (often reproduced by photocopier), zines have always been a great way for marginalized or niche groups to communicate and share ideas!
