Hello! It’s totally a zine review day, but I got my #IZM2023 vibes going by travelling to get some wood cut for shelves in the Zine cave and then catching up on my mail. ALL my mail!
I know. This totally never happens… Until tonight! Including mail going out to my surprise zine buddy in @hb_zines‘ zine mail swap! (Thank you for organising!)
So I hope you’ll forgive the lack of review for the knowledge of a big stack of zine happy Mail is going out into the world in tomorrow’s post.
Spread a little sunshine!
Hello zine friends! I didn’t really think this through at all. I just dove in, and here we have a short video showing you the social media planner I made to give all things SGZ social its own space. I hope you enjoy it and that it perhaps gives you some ideas for your social media planning.

Hello, hello, and hello once more zine friends! Welcome to July, and welcome to International Zine Month 2023.
I had a lot of fun doing my warm up for IZM videos, so thank you once more to True Zine Marin for suggesting making something for the lead up to IZM.
This year we don’t have a refresh on the prompts list from Alex Wrekk. However, Zineville has kindly stepped up to the plate and created this very pretty list:
At this point in time, I’m not sure where to get a purely text version of this list or a bigger version, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for that.
If Zineville happens to see this post, thank you very much for taking on that task and making the list and doing an additional version of it with colours that I just so happen to love. Haha.
Coming in with some IZM goodness – and bringing ChatGPT to the party as well – is Rich of Feral Publication.

Hadass the Badass is coming in strong this year with an awesome list of her own! You can check it out – including goals for the month – at the link just there. I think it’s awesome creating your own prompts list to suit your wants and needs for the month.
As for me…
I’ve decided to go with a little bit of everything because I don’t like deciding on anything. Haha. Joking! Sort of.
Hadass really inspired me to think about what I wanted to accomplish and could accomplish this month. My health has been – knock on wood – reasonably stable lately, but I don’t want to count on anything. So I have decided to set some goals for the month and then dip my toes in with prompts when I’m able to throughout the month. That said, I haven’t gone too light on myself (at least, I don’t think so) with my goals. So here we go:
*Make the next 24 Hour Zine Thing
*Make at least one other zine
*Start (finish if I can) two zines that have been on my ideas list for ages:
– For the Love of Washi
– 36 Life Lessons
*Post zine reviews (at least) every Thursday and Friday
*Get Nyx Reads rolling again
*Submit to at least two collab zines
I really don’t know if I’m aiming too high for all of this, but I always was a bit of a dreamer. So what do you think? What are you doing for IZM? If you’re participating, please feel free to let me know.
Until next time…

Hello and welcome to IZM eve! It’s July tomorrow, and I am having a hard time getting my head around that. Alas, time waits for no one! So today I’m having a chat about a zinemaking tool that I forgot to mention yesterday as well as touch on connecting with others during this zine celebration month.

I apologise for the sound going out of sync. I couldn’t for the life of me get it to line up.
We are getting closer and closer to International Zine Month, and today I am here to show you my favourite tools of the zinemaking ‘trade’ that I have come to love with creating my little bits and bobs.
