 Intrepid Press Launching
So what’s a zine?
Zine (zeen) is an abbreviation of the word magazine. It is most
commonly a small circulation, non-commercial publication of original
texts and images. Zines are written using a variety of formats, from
computer-printed text to handwritten text, from poetry to comics. They
typically cover a broad spectrum of topics and are ultimately composed
of whatever the authors find aesthetic, humorous, thought-provoking and
otherwise amusing.
What’s the purpose of Intrepid Press?
The project’s main purpose is to give people, ages 16 to 23, a voice in
the community: to tell their truth, and give others an insight into the
talents, accomplishments, hopes and concerns of this powerful and
wonderful age group.
The content guidelines of the zine are very
loosely structured to encourage the uninhibited exercise of free speech
so basic to a healthy societyand healthy people, however; there are
clear goals, processes and plenty of learning opportunities:
participants will learn the ins and outs of publishing a magazine, how
to work in groups, how to set common goals and work within a budget.
It is the goal of Amicus Books, as senior publisher and liaison staff,
to provide whatever resources are necessary to ensure the longevity and
strength of the project, intrepidly, for generations to come.
We are always looking for creative and insightful young adults who are
interested in contributing articles about current events, graphics,
layout concepts, cartoons, poetry, short stories. . . We would also
like to support local bands through interviews and advertisements. If
you have a talent that you think we could put to use, please contact
us. We are open to new ideas.
