The date for Whanganui's second annual Zine Fest is fast approaching, but it's not too late to get involved.
The Zine Fest is run by a group of volunteers and stallholders - a mix of locals and out-of-towners.
A zine is usually a DIY hand-assembled publication with few rules to what a zine can and can't be.
The Whanganui Creative Communities Scheme is supporting the Zine Fest with funding and the organisers are encouraging more local stallholders to join the fest.
Organiser and zine artist Abby Stewart did her master's degree in creative writing and, while she does write professionally, enjoys the freedom of zines.
