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 our zines, we mostly use Google Slides (the google version of Powerpoint) or Canva. Adobe InDesign is also great for making zines.
In terms of printing, we usually use the website bestvaluecopy.com. They are much cheaper than most printing options we've heard of. Many of our zines are printed double sided and flipped on the short edge of the page. Their website doesn't list that as an option, so we just write it as an instruction in the Notes box on the order form and they do it. We also recommend printing at your local library.
