The term “Zine” is derived from magazine or fanzine. They are exclusively self-published works that can include anything – music reviews, comics, artwork, poetry, editorials, autobiography, short stories, recipes, info, etc… They are an inexpensive way for people to share something…anything.
This Sunday, August 20th SEEK & FIND Boston is hosting New Zineland 2017, a free and open to the public event for all ages centered around the self-published works of 50+ artists, writers, and small presses that range from “comics to fanzines, artwork to autobiography, and everything in between.”
