I've definitely seen $20 zines in the wild before and as an indie author it blows my mind. I've written multiple books with professional editing and design and everything and I'm not silly enough to think they'll sell for $20 a pop. The idea of a book that took years to finish being cheaper than an eight page zine is wild XD
But I really like this zine's thesis of zines being a part of liberation and community building, NOT a way to make an income. When I finally finish my first zine, I'm gonna post it here for everyone to use and then distribute it among my in-person friends c:
