Personal/literary zines
May include memoir, poetry, reflection, identity exploration with a focus on voice and agency, careful handling of sensitive content, and consent and self‑representation.

Art zines
May include visual, experimental, or form‑driven work with a focus on creative exploration, aesthetic voice, and process and experimentation.
