This is really cool! Thanks for sharing! I love the idea of doing some chapbooks for my poetry someday!

Well because of reading your article I came up with a name and a concept so it might be sooner rather than later 😀

Very interesting! After reading this I guess zines would be chapbooks too. I always thought of modern chapbooks as usually poetry or short essay collections. But they could be much more.

Yes! I love making Zines and think they are very similar beings

This idea excites me more than I expected! I love all the rebel writers from the past who started this! Thanks for sharing the history of this form.🏄🏻‍♀️

Though I am working on a few creative projects right now, I just signed up-I just couldn’t help myself! So excited. And glad it’s self paced so I can take my time! 💚
