What is a Perzine? *:° Zine Reviews: DIY diary, memoir, and personal zines that you should read now

Hey there, zinesters! 💌 This episode of Zine Reviews is all about #perzines - zines that feature memoir or personal writing. I'll sharing 3 of my favorite perzines, as well as excerpts from "Tell Your Own Story", my writing workbook for zinesters.
My name is Dayna, I'm a #zine enthusiast, and I love reading zines and telling you all about them. In case you're new to the world of #zines, they're self-published DIY publications, typically made using a copy machine. They can be about almost anything, and are a great way to express yourself and find community!

Haha to be honest I saw your preview of this on Instagram, and as soon as I saw you flipping through the Telegram book, I paused the video to figure out what it was so I could buy it right away xD
Carrie's zine is new to me, and I'm pretty excited to check it out! I just bought some of their zines

[@catmothcrow]

Ha! That's awesome; I hope you enjoy them! And I saw on Twitter that Maranda might be reprinting their newer zines that aren't featured in the book, which is super exciting... fingers-crossed they do, because all of their zines are so great.
