Make Your Own Zine!

Kids, don’t miss our creative writing and zine-making event at 112th Street on Saturday, June 21st at 1pm

Book Culture and harlequin creature invite you to spend a bit of your summer in a creative writing and ‘zine making workshop with Meghan Forbes, editor. With a fleet of typewriters to transport us back in time, you’ll write stories of what life might have felt and looked like well before the Digital Age.

After a short snack break, we’ll turn all those stories into a ‘zine to take home, as you’ll learn how to hand bind each page into a book you can keep!

All participants must RSVP to Michael at m.scott@bookculture.com by Thursday, June 19th. Space is limited to 10 children, ages 8-12. This is a drop off event, and is expected to go until 4pm.

harlequin creature is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 arts and literary journal, published twice a year. Each copy of every issue is typed on an old typewriter by friends in Ann Arbor, New York, and Los Angeles; covers are letter-pressed and then hand bound. We are thrilled to bring the typewriters used in producing harlequin creature to Book Culture!
