Reflections from attending the Mildura Zine Fair in July 2024: my first zine fair and the first time I'd ever printed my zines.

  • Don't sell yourself short. People will like your zines!
  • Bring zines to trade as an excuse for interesting conversations.
  • Use the resources you have around you.
  • Make zines on paper and clean them up and arrange them digitally.
  • Print folded zines double-sided so there's an interesting surprise on the non-content side.
  • You can sew bindings for zines with a sewing machine.
  • Small Zine Volcano accepts free zines for distribution in Melbourne and surrounds.
  • Photocopying A4 (single-sided black and white) is cheapest.
  • Zines can be anything and everything!
