Tips for translating your research into zines! Make sure your zine works when printed in black and white (so others can print it easily and cheaply) Include short URLs (tiny.cc) or QR codes so folks can easily access your resources Don’t fill your pages with nonstop text - this isn’t an essay, give your readers places to breathe Embrace a more informal voice and presentation - feel free to doodle or use your own handwriting Are you just presenting information? Or providing any activities/prompts for action?
