WHO ARE WE? DOES IT ZINE?
Hey, you! Do you stay up late daydreaming, sketching, and writing? Do you wake up to the sound of the birds calling your name, but the raindrops on the window just don’t quite sound the same as they did when you were seven? Well, Itzines is here and constantly improving, and your support is what allows us to thrive and become even better! Itzines is a zine that also has a newsletter, like some of your favorite magazines. We are a community built from teen and undergrad creatives. Itzines releases a new zine each season and several mini zines each year, all featuring creative media by youths all around the world. We also hope to host in person events in our immediate area (new jersey, philly, new york area) and more digital events (we’ve done secret seed, zinentines, etc)! Hoping to create memories with all of you, while celebrating the simple joys of nostalgia 💫
