Nylon Summer Music Tour

Making your own fanzine is easier than you think. Download our zine-maker kit, then enter your homemade homage into NYLON’s Make Your Own Fanzine contest for a chance to be featured on our website!

1. Download our PDF zine kit*

Download the Essentials ZIP (6.3 MB) for Nylon Summer Music Tour assets, and download the ExtraJamz ZIP for 22.5 megs of self-publishing fun. Next, figure out what your zine is going to be about. Hint: what do you like? It’s not called a “fan”-zine for nothing.
*Motivational speeches and advertising dollars not included.

2. Start mapping it out.

Figure out exactly how you want to create a printed ode to your subject of choice: stalker-caliber expressions of your fandom in poetry form? Yes! Doodles of your subject that you did on a bar napkin in a moment of questionable sobriety? Why not?! ANYTHING GOES!

3. Produce that shit.

Gather contributions in a variety of mediums—written, illustrated, painted, cut-and-pasted, photographed, drawn—and put them on the page. Now head over to your nearest copy shop, make a bunch and hand them out to everyone you know (don’t forget to recycle). Let your voice be heard!

4. Send it to us.

Mail a finished copy to:
