Action Girl D.I.Y. Zine Guide

Even though Sarah Dyer's Action Girl material is geared towards young girls, there are many great ideas in this zine guide for anybody wanting to create their own publication/zine/chapbook (I'm speaking from personal zine making experience here--www.digressonline.com!). From content, size, format, layout, text, art, to distributing and copying, this page offers helpful suggestions and things to consider when taking on the task of putting out a zine that will speak to many readers.

If you have never made a chapbook or zine of your own, now's the time! Independent voices are vital to keeping "the conversation" new, fresh, and progressive.

Don't just visit this one page of the Action Girl site though! There's a variety of links to other grrrl comics; wise words to live by to keep you socially, politically, mentally, and personally active; back issues of the Action Girl newsletter; Dyer's own zine, Kikizine (pretty cutesy, but there's an interesting, short article on the etymology of the words "women" and "girl"); plus the Action Girl Manifesto which is good advice for anyone, especially impressionable yutes!
