Day 19

General advice on zines:

1. Each article needs to stand on it's own, have a clear and tight argument and a title
2. Make sure the zine has a clear focus and that everything in your zine helps you to accomplish that goal
3. Don't just include background knowledge, things commonly known to the community, or generalities.  Be specific.  Add to the discussion.  Challenge what is commonly known and the problems people face.
