You’ve just inspired me to look for a local zine convention and I’ve hopped into their Discord server. 💫

I loved this animation, and as always, it's inspiring to see how you are crafting your creativity and what inspires it. I'm very much in agreement that the process is more important than the product, or at least the process is why I enjoy creating and have certainly forgotten that in my past. Cheers to 2025, and thank you for sharing.

I also tend to forget the enjoyment of the process. Cheers to the new year!

I took a screenshot of your list under “Also” and I printed it out and stuck in on my mirror. It’s one of the most inspiring and motivating things I’ve read this year! (Well 6 days in to this year but so far you’re the leader!) love your newsletter and no matter how long or short it is, it’s a delight to see it!

I made a zine in 2024 but haven’t shown anybody yet. I want to make more in 2025–I love yours!

Do you use a local printer, or something online?

Oh I'm just printing them off on my little office printer. I've always wanted to use https://www.newspaperclub.com/ but I haven't been able to justify the cost yet. I would like to be a bit more "professional" in the future, but the ol office printer has worked just fine so far.

Well that’s a cool website!

That makes sense. My printers at home suck so I haven’t even tried.

Mixam offers a POD option for zines and I liked the quality. Uncoated paper! You can sell them on their site too, if that’s of interest.
