Scheherazade promo zine

Posted by ElizabethGenco on Tuesday, September 12 2006 at 12:26 am

So, as some of you reading this may know, I’ve been making zines of one form or another for a while now; in fact, some of you may even remember this thing called PLATFORM that I used to write, about fiddling Irish tunes in the NYC subways (yes, for real). I’ve made quite a few zines, handmade comics and chapbooks in the past year or so (all of which you can read about on another one of my sites, Streetfables).

Yeah, I love zines. I’ll surely make zines in some form or another for the duration of my creative life, no matter where that road may ultimately lead. But making zines the way I like to make ‘em takes time. And that’s something that I don’t have much of these days. Yet, I love zines. What to do?

The answer, my dears, is the one shot: a zine made from just one sheet of paper.

What does this have to do with SCHEHERAZADE? Well, I made a SCHEHERAZADE one shot, which you can find here. I also put together a short tutorial on how you can make one shots of your own. Because spreading the zinelove is one thing that I do.

Feel free to take that SCHEHERAZADE zine and make copies and pass it around or link to it or whatever. If you dig on the Chemistry Set, it really helps to spread the word somehow. We do thank you.

And definitely make some one shots of your own, then drop me a note with the results. Because I love zines, and I love to see what you all get up to.
