Every year, zinesters in Phoenix hold a celebration of zines called Phoenix Zine Fest. The event, hosted by Wasted Ink Zine Distro, brings together zinesters from across the US.
Instead of an interview with just one zinester, in this episode we’ll be speaking to a whole lot of people. We’ll bring you right along into the fest, and then we’ll share a few of the zines we picked up that we really enjoyed.
This episode’s prompt is: “Make a love letter to your community.”
We’d love to see what you all create! Share your zines with us by emailing [email protected] or by messaging us at @zineittogether on instagram.
