Read Lit Mags and Make Your Own Pocket Zine in my Substack post this week. There is a list of digital and print publications for you to check out. By no means comprehensive.

https://hayleyshucker.substack.com/p/lit-mag-week

The template is free on my website. It shows what the font looks like in size 9 and size 10 font. It tells you about how many words fit per page or how many lines for poems. Once you get the hang of folding it, it's easy.

Plus here are some issues of print lit mags I've purchased over the years, styled in front of my boas from the Lily Allen concert.

Happy zine making
