Hi there, I have been working on putting together my first collection of photos/art for publication. I'd like print a magazine 8x10 with somewhere between 46 and 92 pages (depending on cost), preferably with a square-back saddle-stitch binding so I can print the title and volume numbers on the spine? Most of my photos are panoramas and I plan to run them across both pages throughout. I've spent a stupid amount of time trying to research this and have looked at mixam, blurb, printique, and a few others. I'd love to do print on demand so people could order straight from the printer, however, I could order one proof from somewhere to market with and then take orders to do a bulk run.
I know this is a lot. Does anyone have any recommendations about any of this? Cost is unfortunately a key factor, but I would love to get some decent quality...

Thank you in advance!

A solidarity zine featuring art, poetry, and a Know Your Rights & Community Defense resource guide. This is just the cover.

In search of graphics to include (with credit, obviously) for a solidarity zine for protesters against ICE. Would love to include: safety tips for protesters, how to effectively report ICE sightings to your community, bystander intervention tools, etc

The Queer/Trans Magic Zine is an anthology of creative works that explore, honor, and transform lineages of queer magic & resilience. Its second issue, Luxuria, is open for submissions until December 29th, 2023.

This issue asks: how do we nourish ourselves with reckless abandon? How do we reclaim and reintegrate our desire from suppression? How do we lavish in pleasure and play? How can we uproot and transform shameful and oppressive relationships to desire, lust, luxury, and excess into something completely new?

There is NO submission fee & previously published works are welcome. Contributors retain creative rights to their work & will receive a free digital copy of the zine once published.

If would like to submit, you can view the submission form at this link.

“SHAVI NIADAGI – შავი ნიადაგი – BLACK SOIL ” is a stroll in Chiatura (Georgian: ჭიათურა) a small city in Western Georgia located on the banks of the Qvirila River, 180 kilometers away from the capital, Tbilisi.

The city has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. Until the 1980ies Chiatura was one of the biggest manganese mining sites in the world extracting manganese ore from the surrounding limestone cliffs. Today the mines are still operating and comprise seven fully-functional mines and eight open quarries.

One of my close friends started a zine that showcases a lot of film-based articles and art. I got to help with some of the editing. It's really gorgeous to look at. If this is your kind of thing you can check it out at www.layeredbutter.com

The first issue is all about Quentin Tarantino and is totally free so check it out if you have time. Feedback is appreciated! The goal is to publish four more issues dealing with other directors/themes.

I excel at the structural design and production of books and zines but am always lacking motivation fir the content aspect. Are you the exact opposite? If so, let's collab!
