I write poetry zines and ebooks. If you are not familiar with a ZINE it is a book produced from a photo copier or printer. i started out with 1/4 size zines each with around 60 poems in them and 30 plus zines in a series. From there I made many mini zines out of the medium-sized zines pulling out poems of the same subject. In all cases the zine is named after the first appearing poem and after that it is almost always alphabetical in order. The mini zines are one dollar and have around 16 poems. The medium zines are five dollars and have around 60 poems. Check out my full page zines too!
I also write fiction and my first book is called SLANTBOARD which takes place in the future where people can ride on boards that float a little off the ground nor do they go much over 10 miles and hour so they have a similar culture to long-distance bike riding. Thanks for reading!
All of my original older ebooks are available on my Smashwords page: http://smashwords.com/profile/view/ConnieBoje

Here is the straight edge I use to lay out the cells of my master sheets for the zines. These get scanned to a PDF. -

This is really a motto I found on the Internet. The courage to write poetry. The courage to make zines. You can too! -

This is my long arm stapler. Notice how long it is! It needs to be longer than normal because zines need staples. -

I call my paper cutter Carl. I just got Carl off of Ebay. I have been using my daughter's smaller version. Felt guilty. -

This is how I look perplexed. What other zine can I work on? My next project is just on the horizon.
Zines are life. Poetry is life. Poetry Zines are cake. Perzines are life in the raw.
When I had nothing I had poetry. My poetry is not floral. My poetry is a bit sarcastic and futuristic. Started out putting my poetry on Smashwords but only sold two books of non-poetry to family members. Enter daughter would teaches zine-making classes (she has an Etsy shop here under Olivia Montoya). Olivia taught me to make zines out of my e-books! So the next step was an Etsy store. Love selling zines to those new and old to zine-making!
My mini-zines take related poems out of more expensive zines (quarter-sized) and bring them to the masses. Listing a new mini soon called SeeThrough.
Enjoy!

My daughter, who was going to school on the West coast, introduced me to the zine format. Originally my zines appeared in ebook form on Smashwords. Olivia is very involved in the assembly of my zines because she has the necessary equipment and won't let me . She also offers occasional advice.
