Still Reading and Making Zines

Update from the center of the DIY storm

Tomorrow is day one of Phoenix Zine Fest and I’m tabling, so you know what that means — I’m printing, folding, and stapling, drinking coffee that’s no longer hot. My desk (and floor) is covered with paper scraps, and I just refilled my saddle stapler. I’m reminding myself that anxiety and excitement are fraternal twins. It’s good chaos!

For your reading today, I’m sharing a newsletter from last year on professionalism and zines. It features an interview with Charissa Lucille (artist, captain of the Phoenix Zine Fest team, and a dear friend) and I hope you’ll give it a read:

Folding The Good Enough Weekly zines. My trusty awl. Snaps from my evening walk.

The Good Enough Weekly comes out on Fridays, alternating essays and shorter updates. I also take on freelance editing and writing projects. Reach out if you’re looking for help in those departments — I’ve worked on everything from zines to textbooks. More info here.
