Wow, I'm Surprised This Is On Amazon!,
By Karen Loo. (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stolen Sharpie Revolution: A DIY Zine Resource (Paperback)
While I have admired those with the "Do-It-Yourself" attitude, people who set out to publish and distribute their own writings and art, I've never really been a participant in the independent printing movement. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have some of my work published by a nationwide distributor with fine binding and all that jazz. Little did I know I could show people my work now with little more than a copier, some staples, and a stolen Sharpie.
Stolen Sharpie Revolution is a very small but intricately designed book that tells you everything you need to know about creating your own Zine. Alex Wrekk, who's been self-publishing since 1995, provides thoughtful suggestions for laying out pages, printing and binding, distributing your work, and raising awareness of free-speech independent zines in your community. The simple, clean, stylish layout of the book is inspiring, as it looks like something anyone can do with a bit of planning. In addition to all her helpful tips, Wrekk has compiled a listing of zine distributors, libraries, communities, and websites. This book is a great starting point for anyone considering self-publishing, and for a mere $4.00, you can't go wrong! Jump in a let your voice be heard!

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best guide you could hope to carry in your pocket,
By ashley (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stolen Sharpie Revolution: A DIY Zine Resource (Paperback)
Stolen Sharpie is just the right mix of guidance and space to allow you to create your own work of DIY publishing. Creating a zine can, and should, be fun, cheap and easy, and this book gives any reader a significant head start in each of those categories.
You can read it in one sitting, but will probably refer back to it again and again. A worthy use of $4!

Thinking about publishing your own zine?,
By
This review is from: Stolen Sharpie Revolution: A DIY Zine Resource (Paperback)
Then you should read this first. How to's with just enough blank spaces to let you be creative, and all in a tiny purse (or pocket) sized book.
Even just reading this book will give you many ideas for your zine, and should prompt you to read more zines too!
