This post is everything I needed! I accidentally deleted my journal app along with 500+ entries from my kids toddler days, and I've been thinking of doing a Google doc diary and separately thinking of book binding and you just sewed all my thoughts together!
Absolutely mind blown over here! This is actually the first I’ve heard of Zine and I’m enthralled! Also writing in google doc is genius. I’ve tried to keep up with my physical notebook and I often don’t have it with me when I need it but love the tangible aspect of it. Thank you!
Wow, I’m really impressed by this Amy! I used to make zines in my 20’s and ran a distro that I burned out from. And have also been feeling a disconnect and sadness with the journaling I’ve been doing on google docs too. This is a beautiful connection between parts of my life and a love for pretty physical things. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Oooohhh that's such a great idea, and such a lovely zine! I'm just afraid I'd *overdesign* it (I am a graphic designer wityh Adobe CC and more fonts than is healthy 😄🥴). What differentiates a zine from a maga~zine?
sharing a tip! Oftentimes the "download as pdf" function in google docs messes up the formatting. I get more predictable results by generating the pdf through the print dialog (file>print>save as pdf)
Here for the zine renaissance 🎉 I love it!

Thank you a million for this post x
I was so inspired I went and made my own bespoke diary, and the next one I make will be the gratitude journal. Thanks so much for writing this and inspiring me! https://open.substack.com/pub/lofimum/p/bullet-journal-diy?r=1iagn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Omg this is so gold, im gonna do it!!
Bummer that it's only a Mac app, but it looks super cool regardless!

I felt the same way. I mean I never thought of using Google docs that way.
Love this ! Inspiring - Thank you

you don’t know how important this just became to me. how lovely!!! congrats on your work of art, for real
Anytime I see the word ‘zine’ I click, this is perfection
I love this! I am going to definitely try this out for myself.
Thank you for this! One of my biggest goals this year to make my first zine and attend the Pittsburgh Zine Fair :)
