- Zines are a way to harness the power of self-publishing to talk about things that are important to you but might not have a platform anywhere else. Here's a video to help you get started!

My college professor showed us this video because we were making zines.
Same but i'm in 8th grade
This was so freaking creative and inspirational. The filming style was so clever.
Thank you so much!!
I went to a punk exhibition a couple months ago and totally freaked over the zine section. This video has inspired me to actually make one! Think I'm gonna do one about the UK pop punk music scene I've discovered since moving over here.
This is the best! I remember you going to that exhibition in a vlog! I can't wait to see what you make!

Loved the editing in this video! I work in magazine publishing and I LOVE the breath of fresh air that is zines - no advertising, just pure, raw content. So awesome!
GUESS WHO'S GOING TO SPEND ALL OF TOMORROW MAKING ZINES
Hahaha YAAAAAAY!!!! Make sure to share something with me, I so want to see!!
So we had someone from the largest public library in our city come in to our class to talk about zines and he showed this video to our freshman, high school, fine arts connections class. It was SO cool to see him showing a video from a youtuber I watch EVERYDAY! You're an educational image to our art class!! :D
I made a Zine about how to procrastinate for school :)
ooh, that's a good idea! ...I think I should do the same instead of studying for my uni exam in 4 days 🤔
When my friends and I were in school, in the days before Facebook, we made little booklets once a week about who was going out with who, which teachers you should avoid this week because they were in a bad mood, which teachers were leaving, doodles and funny poems etc. We were only about 12, we only ever made about 20 a week and looking back it was all super trivial, but to 12 year old me, they were the topics I was passionate about. So I suppose that was my first foray into zines! It's a format I love the concept of seeing it properly for the first time now! Thanks for (re)introducing me!
I didn't even know zines was even a thing
Welcome to a whole new glorious world!
OH MY GOD! THAT'S IT! I've been looking for a format for this idea I've had for FOUR YEARS!
I've heard of zines before but never pictured like this...
I've got it now! I'm so excited!!!!!! THANK YOU, ARIEL!
OH MAN. I'M SO PUMPED FOR YOU!!
I LOVED this video Ariel
Thanks so much, Fran! I love your videos and was excited to see you in my comments :D
This is why i'm subscribed to your channel. Not because you're a book tuber (though, that's how I found you) but because you constantly show us worlds we didn't even know previously existed.
Did I see Bookington Wallace is premiering some new work in Puffin Food? I've been waiting for more of his genius for years!!
Oh you saw correctly. This might be his finest work yet!
i was searching for a video to show to my 40 students as we begin our section on zines. this is so great! thank you so much.
This is incredible! Well done... and some of my favorite people are included! Can't wait to check out Puffin Food. "One of the best parts about zines is the absolute rejection of being precious with the thing." What a freeing concept. :) xx
Thank you for sharing the spirit of making zines with us! The bit about "being scared of creating something creative but doing it anyway" is so real and empowering. :)
Whenever I don't feel my most creative you come up with a video that just gets the inspiration flowing left, right and centre! Thank you for being so inspiring Ariel, I'm definitely going to be making a zine in the very near future!
ur enthusiasm for DIY PUNK attitude kills me, nice work xxx
This is such an awesome, inspiring, yet comprehensive video. Thank you for this!
I wrote zines back in high school and traded them with people from other states and countries. It was a rad experience.
I've watched a bunch of zine videos, and I absolutely love this approach. Thanks for sharing!
I share this video with my 7th graders to start them off with the comfortable, no-judgement approach to art making. So thank you for this wonderful, well thought out and beautifully presented video.
I just started to make one the second this video ended. It's going to be full of poems and artwork that I made half asleep/awake in the middle of the night.
This seriously makes me so happy!
+Ariel Bissett I'm so glad it does. Thank you for making this video!
You just changed my life.
I have been struggling with my creativity for a while now, since I moved to London three years ago, and now I am trying to find any outlet I can to let out years of 'confinement'. However, I have an incredible fear of failure, of not being good enough - not to mention my very poor means. I just opened a blog and an Instagram page, but it just feels like it is not enough. I think a zine might be my next step. Thank you, seriously.
Love your passion, enthusiasm, and sincerity. Well-spoken with good points. Love that your filming is creative, but still simple. Loved it!
I feel like zines are a concept I'm all about but just never thought of. I love your attitude :)
MY HEART IS EXPLODING WITH ZINE JOY !!!!!
This is one of the most inspiring things I have seen in a long time! I purchased yours straight away and I can't wait to try making my own :)
I can't believe this. Today I spent my whole day reading about zines and you made a video about it! I love this.
THE STARS MUST HAVE ALIGNED! ✨
genuinely really inspiring, rarely come across them!
Hooray for someone talking about zines! I hope that many people are inspired to make their own! I've been a zine lover and collector for a LONG time and I love them. So fantastic that you're into making zines. Again, so cool that you're going to introduce these to a youtube generation of people who love to read and write. Fantastic video.
I was making some "newsletters" in the mid-to-late '90s and then later I learned about zines through the internet. I lived in the middle of nowhere so I ordered from zine distros (there are still many out there but a few of the ones I used to buy from are long gone now, sigh) and I noticed that people buy zines through etsy a lot these days (I have now & then - just search for zines) and there were communities on LiveJournal that I bought zines through as well. Also happened upon some in various bookstores when I would visit a bigger city. Just google "how to make a zine" and you'll see a lot come up in the search for getting started. Have fun!
My creativity pool has been dry as of lately. However, this video was a great refresher and now I'm up to create with some nice ideas. Thanks for being lovely, Ariel.
Thank you, Ariel! :)
You opened a new world of literature for me with this, this was amazing!
I love your videos! They're always so creative!
I find it impossible that you just so happen to make this video just as I am wondering about how to express myself and about zines. Thanks so much for motivating me to get started on a new project :)
I tried making some zines last year. I've been so stressed lately and I need a creative and intellectual outlet. Thank you for making this video and reminding me about how much fun and interesting zines are. I'm going to make a bunch tomorrow!
This has me genuinely really excited about zines now! Thank you, Ariel!
I've been working on a zine about struggles I've gone through in my personal life and for the last few months I've definitely felt uninspired and just wanted to give up because I was scared it'd be immediately rejected. this honestly inspired me so much that today after school im going whole hog. why do something and and stop halfway because you're afraid, yknow? Thank you very much for uploading this video.💝💝
I love the content of this, and I also I love the way you present information. Engaging and still very clear. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Great work on this video. I created zines back in the early to mid 1990s, and began my writing career there. I had assumed that modern computers (blogs, social media) had rendered zines extinct, but it's great to see they're still around. It's fun to create something that's simple and heartfelt and creatively free. Anything goes. Much thanks!
YES!!! We need more of this back on the 2016 UA-cam/Internet
I’m like 5 seconds into this and i already love this video and support ur channel and ur artwork completely
This was such a great video! This was the encouragement I needed to make my own zine, I've been contemplating it for a while now. and now I'm going ahead with it. Such an awesome video: creative, fun, informational, you're an incredible video maker ^-^
yaay I used to make them when I was very young but I didn't know they are called zines ! I love them I will go make one now !
This was so great! Now I really want to make my own zine! Thank you for the well-needed inspiration, Ariel!
PS: I bought your zine, and love it so far! It's definitely something I'll keep referring back to for a long time!
This is the most inspiring video I have watched in a long time.
Have just bought it! Thank you! I feel like the themes are so relevant to creative people. X
What a cool way to announce your zine, Ariel! :) Super excited to read it!
Ariel your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love the idea of zines and I can't wait to check yours out.
Eeee! I hope you like it :)
Ariel, I love how especially recently you put so much effort and creativity in your videos! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so so much!!
I've been wanting to start learning book binding and creation skills ever since I stumbled upon Sea Lemon's channel, but the full journals and sketchbooks that she demonstrates are a bit intimidating. This looks like the PERFECT way to get my feet wet in the basics ^.^ Thank you so much Ariel!! I love the format of this video too :D
I had never heard of zines before ! Thanks Ariel for the inspiration !
I'd never heard of Zines before, it looks wonderful! I just bought a digital copy of Puffin Food and I'm really excited to read it :)
My best friend from high school and I used to make Zines. So much fun. I'll have to get a copy of yours :)
the link for your zine doesn't work :(
Ever since i was little, my best friend and I have been making zines for each other in holidays and birthdays in which we would explain why we love the other and write little poems. We still do it😂... But hey, now I finally know what they are called.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO WTF STOP BEING SO GOOD AT EXPLAINING THINGS THANK YOU
I shrieked when I saw your zine about Guelph! That's my city! Loved this video Ariel! xo
This brings out my love for Riot Grrrl. (:
omg thank you so much for making this
I had no idea this even existed, but it looks awesome and you really made me want to make one!
ugh i love zines so much. thanks for using your platform to talk about this awesome community.
Yay! I hope lots of people go on and make some!!
Zines are such a great way to be creative! I'm excited to read through Puffin Food
I love this - super happy to have found your channel :)
Haha I was writing in my journal about new years resolutions, and I started watching this video. New resolution for 2019.
Cinematography on point and the subject very inspiring! I never thought about zines and fanzines because its never talked about and its always shown as a niche medium.
This was a great video. I'm going to make one soon, you got me excited.
this seems like such an interesting concept! loved thr video!
YOUR VIDEOS ARE A FRESH BREEZE TO MY SOUL!
This is such a great video, I really want to make a zine now!!
The way you expressed yourself in this video was filled with so much passion. It's really inspiring :)
I used to make these when I was younger, this video makes me want to back to that.
love your energy! thanks.
Very nicely done Ariel! Got me out of a zine creative road-block
Wow love the idea and video! I didn't know there was an actual name and concept for this!
This brought back memories of making these as a child. Totally grabbing my copy of Puffin Food now. :)
this video is LOVELY, thank u
This is so cool, Ariel! Great way to celebrate and spread inspiration and creativity. Good thing you uploaded this on a Friday, 'cause now all I want to do is create! Is this going to be a multi-issue thing?
this video is fantastic!! both the subject and the editing. brilliant job.
What an awesome video, really inspiring! Thanks Ariel!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for introducing me to the world of zines.
I use to love making these. I had no idea they had a proper name. I do not even remember the things I put in them. Nice to know what I was doing actually developed into something.
OK CAN I JUST TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS VIDEO LIKE YES THANK YOU I AM IN LOV IM MAKING A ZINE RN
hi ariel, i love this - seen/zine it and bought it - i had to, so many inspiring people in there! also feels like i'm gonna need to reboot MY zine which i started at school (almost 20 years ago, oh my). might send you one back when it's finished! :)
I'm really grateful I watched your video. I have stuff I want to say but don't want to offend people. Plus most people don't want to hear about my worries or politics. Your video has inspired me to make a zine. Thank you😊 No idea what happens after though😄
I am LEGIT jealous of that stapler! I didn't know you could get them like that. I love this video! It's waay better than the announcement I did for mine. I babbled about it for like 5 minutes and didn't even get into what a zine was. I guess mine isn't a real zine though, in a true sense. You're totally right, about how it's meant to be rough n ready and I spent 6 months on one :) Very excited to be a part of this!
Aw, Seán, I love Chump so much!! But I'm really glad you liked the video and I'm so proud to have you on board with this!!
I've always wanted to create something like this. But too afraid to do so coz I'm really bad at art. Now I'm inspired to make a zine. Thank you for making this video, Ariel 💙
I loved this video. I've been in a creative slump lately and this inspired me to get back to doing what I love. Also, random advice: if you don't have a stapler, look up a video on how to saddle stitch with staples!
This is so cool! I've never even heard of this. :D Thank you for sharing.
Hey Ariel, is there a way I can get tla copy of your Zine? I am in the philippones so not sure how... I hope you respond.
I had never heard of these before! I think I tried making my own when I was a kid lol. Looks like I found a new hobby.
awesome!! I just ordered a copy, I'm really excited :3
this was very inspiring and seemingly easy. thank you.
Hi Ariel...I tried to get the zine but the link says "could not find the page".. you could probably help me with that... loved the idea...
This is such an interesting way to shoot a video, instant subscriber!!
I would like to checkout the Zine that your created! Unfortunately, the link that you provided in the show notes is no longer valid. Please let me know if you have new link to the Zine. Thank you!
How do you copy your zines/what's the best way to make multiple copies (esp. if you want the pages to be double sided)?
I loved thissss ✨✨ I’m gonna go make one now
I love this. Creativity rules!
Activating creativity.. NOW. Thanks for making this!! :)
