Zines (pronounced zeen, like "magazine"), are self-produced, non-commercial magazines or booklets. Their content can range widely with almost anything from fiction to personal stories to political and social commentary, and use a variety of mediums including art, stories, images, poetry, cartoons, or clippings of other works. Zines are traditionally produced using photocopiers and distributed by their creators. The self-production aspect of zines creates a space for voices that are often excluded from traditional publishing.
