Quotes from people who have used the zine template

“We will use this to have 7th graders reflect on their year of learning.” “Using this for a cozy zine workshop.” “I'm going to use this in lgbt+ therapy groups to help clients celebrate themselves.” “I'm starting a small zine collection at the public library where I work. I'm hoping to encourage patrons to make their own zines.”
