✋🤚How to Make Your Own Zine (and Why)

Zine - a miniature handmade booklet from a single A4 sheet.
A mini-brochure, an accordion, an amazing thing that unfolds in your hands like a flower - zines come in all kinds.

What are zines for?
To tell a little story. To express yourself on a topic briefly and succinctly, with text and illustrations. To surprise a friend. To give a gift... There are many ideas.
Personally, I especially like that almost any of my stories + a picture fit into a zine, and such a mini-book with a story and an invitation to follow the link and read the entire collection for free can be left in a street library, on a train, in a park, or in a cafe.
I also have gamebooks in zine format. Fitting an entire story with many different endings onto one A4 sheet is challenging but interesting.
My Esperanto textbook from a single A4 sheet even went viral in its time.

Personally, I like to use the program Electric Zine Maker (it's free).
