Could a zine spark your creativity and help you reach or connect more deeply with readers?

Could a zine spark your creativity and help you reach or connect more deeply with readers?

April 27, 2025

The idea for this podcast episode – it’s all about zines for authors – came about when I thoroughly enjoyed the zine shared by Rebekah Lambert of Freelance Jungle.

I hadn’t picked up a zine for a while, but it got me thinking…what if more authors experimented with zines? Where might it lead?

Rebekah and I discuss:

  • What zines are
  • What fuels a zine (mostly, they come from a place of love, creativity, curiosity, or rage!)
  • How to produce and distribute zines
  • How zines give authors permission not to be perfect
  • How zines can spark your creativity as a writer
  • How fiction and non-fiction authors can use zines to deepen connections with readers
