Abstract

By using zines as a touchstone, this chapter introduces the idea of multidisciplinary writing through that medium. It focuses on the many elements that embody a zine, from the layout and design to the addition of artwork, publication details, and—of course—the content itself. In regards to the content, this chapter explores the diverse culture of zinesters, illustrating the wide variety of content and, even more, how that content often draws from multiple disciplines to achieve its purpose. By noting both real-life zine examples and assignments, this chapter melds the worlds of multidisciplinary writing and zines, introducing both to the readers.
