I want to make a zine. Do you have any tips for formatting or printing?
It's awesome that you are planning to make a zine.
For my zines, I mostly use Google Slides (the google version of Powerpoint) or Canva. I've also heard that Adobe InDesign is great for making zines.
In terms of printing, I usually use the website bestvaluecopy.com. They are much cheaper than most printing options I've heard of. Many of my zines are printed double sided and flipped on the short edge of the page. Their website doesn't list that as an option, so I just write it as an instruction in the Notes box on the order form and they do it.
Also, if you're in the Boston area, the Democracy Center in Cambridge has a copy/print machine that they allow people to use for very cheap, if you want to print in person.
