Zine details:

Guide to Being Broke & Fabulous was published as part of my residency at Spudnik Press in Chicago, IL. The zine’s first run was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign.

The zine is 5” x 7” in size and 32 pages in length. The zine is saddle-stitched and was originally published through Vice Versa Press. A mix of photocopy and risograph were used to print each edition.

Copies are available for borrowing around the USA.

Overall, it’s a self-care/self-help zine oriented toward young people in urban areas who don’t have a lot of money. I could see this being a pretty cool resource for a lot of teenagers in general, just for the author’s tough, positive attitude.
