What is a Zine?
A zine is a small-circulation, self-published work, typically spanning 4-32 pages and often reproduced via a copy machine. Zines encompass a variety of categories, including comic books, poetry, literature, manifestos, music, and various other art forms.

Zine Fest Nelson aims to unite the local community in celebrating the rich history and ongoing relevance of zine culture. As a creative, inclusive, and DIY platform, the festival will offer artists, writers, and other creatives from Nelson and across New Zealand a chance to showcase their work, fostering networking, community, collaboration, and innovation.

As a market and showcase: Zines will be for sale by independent zine makers.
