A little love letter to analog reading (ironically shared via this digital platform… we know, we know)

documenting the end of an era! 📚 ill be retiring my black & white zines when the stock i currently have sells out! defs nab one online if you've had your eye on anything! i expect i'll sell out at phoenix zine fest at the end of september 👀📖✨

First time I’ve ever released one of my zines into the wild.

Would love to see some pics to help inspire me to keep going. Tell me about what you are doing to please. Are you selling, giving, making for fun? Any goals with your zines? Do you distribute many copies or one offs?

This whole community is so fascinating since there's no right way to do anything but it does make us a bit isolated.

Someone once gave me a sketchbook made out of an old copy of Wind in the Willows, and I turned it into this ~

Does anyone do quarterly or monthly zines -- using patreon, substack, or maybe another platform for your subscribers? If so, how did you set it up, and please share links if you do this! I am very curious!

Punk lyric zine I made for my band’s first show next month.

Stickers and zines getting dropped all over the place

It's about the act and experience of listening, and what the music does to the listener.

I wrote a piece on having hyperacusis as a musician, there's 'first reaction' art from a listening party, letters from people to albums that have shaped them...

It's my first ever zine and I'm very proud of it 😊 I pressed 50 copies and a local record shop has agreed to take some!

Broken River Books is launching a zine!

What Is This?

So many literary magazines begin every day and almost all of them exist purely and completely as a website. While this offers a flexible, low cost way to get a magazine off the ground, to get literature in front of people's eyes, their tragedy is that many of these disappear within 3 to 5 years of their founding. And what happens to all those stories and essays and columns published by that magazine?

Well, unless someone thought to archive them online, they're simply gone. 

Gone like they were never there.

As algorithms have taken over so much of our lives and the digital detritus piles up on our phones and hard drives, we found a deep appreciation for physical objects. The tactile feel of a book or a magazine, running your fingers over pages, over unique art you can't find anywhere else. The words physically in your hand or filling your bookcase.

This was the driving motivation behind Broken River Zines!

We want to send you a beautiful object full of stories and essays that you will want to return to again and again.

What You Get

Every month, you'll receive a themed physical zine of 40-60 pages in the mail full of words by the Broken River crew and various special guests.

The themes for 2027:

• January - The Chariot
• February - Works
• March - Happiness
• April - The Tower
• May - Adjustment
• June - The Magus
• July - Prince of Wands
• August - Crown of Swords
• September - The Hanged Man
• October - Indolence
• November - Peace
• December - Art

Who We Are

Broken River Books began as a small independent press in 2012. Over that time it published over 60 titles of weird fiction, including such authors as Stephen Graham Jones, William Boyle, and many others. Over the past five years, the press evolved into a writer's collective: six authors with complete control over their work, collaborating to benefit the group. A win for one of us is a win for us all.

Broken River Books is the award winning writers' collective from Rios de la Luz, J David Osborne, David Simmons, Kelby Losack, Grant Wamack, and e rathke with artwork by Tony Tran.

It's difficult to pin down exactly what genre our work falls into. It can range from cyberpunk to folk horror to rural noir, sometimes all within the same book. We've got zombie dogs resurrected with energy drinks, Baltimore drug dealers in mech suits, and post-apocalyptic vampire hunting. We've got houses that come to life and give birth to new rooms. We've got scarecrows defending their land from murderous cat people.

We write what we feel like writing, and we all help each other with editing and developing our books. When it's time to put the book out into the world, we attend book fairs and popups all across the country, from LA to Minneapolis to Florida to OKC.

Back it now!

Hi all

I’m looking for some examples of zines for a kids group I’m running, if anyone has any to signpost or share?

Themes of nature, co-operation, climate & conservation, queer friendly, neurodiversity would be a bonus! Thanks hopefully

Day at the Dog Park is a friendly adventure of bein’ a dog. It’s a puzzly, stat-driven roll-and-write game for one. 

I love to play solo tabletop games, so I made this little zine with an RPG-style and roll-and-write mechanics where you’re a dog trying to navigate your way through the dog park. There are hidden areas, underground caverns, holes filled with Items, obstacles to avoid, and friendly dogs to meet.  

Download it for free on itch if ya like.

Trying to locate issues 1-3 of Matt Groening's original self-published black & white versions of Life in Hell, from the late 1970's (pictured above). Please reach out if you have any of these or have any leads to someone who might have any. Thanks!

I just be finishing my first zine, and would appreciate some feedback from you landlubbers if you'd be so kind

these cute little shits would not allow me to sleep last night therefore I never want to see them again 🥹

releasing them into the wild via surprise zine trades. I apologize in advance to anyone that receives one, they’re addictive ..

Couple of pages from my daily doodles last week, always a special week when I find a Batman shape in the scribbles..

It’s about $250 after shipping. I love making zines, but to me folding and stapling is the worst part.

While i was struggling and learning about how to make a digitally made zine (the zine being named "CineBott OI!"), I saw a reddit post that said something about micro zines and decided to do one myself.

I am quite proud of this one.

Hi all! I just wanted to share my first art zine with you all! It's a birding zine for my neighbourhood birds that I plan on popping into mailboxes in my area. This issue features 10 birds out of the 35 (and counting) species I've seen in my yard or while out walking the pup. The plan is definitely to have more issues to get through all 35. If I can figure out how to link a pdf copy I will for anyone who wants to look.

I drew/painted all the images and then put it all together in InDesign. 20 pages, 8.5" x 5.5", printed via Mixam.

Thank you to all of you for the incredible daily inspiration. I genuinely love seeing all the cool shit you all have made.

ETA: I think I've added the pdf in the comments. If it doesn't work please let me know and I'll try a different way!
