What’s the difference between a zine and a magazine?

Both zines and magazines can be self-published, but they usually have different goals:

  • • A magazine: Usually created to look professional and polished, with high-quality printing and design. Self-publishers might print magazines to sell, promote a brand, or share expert content with a broader audience.
  • • A zine: More DIY and personal, often handmade or printed in small batches. Self-publishers use zines to express unique ideas, showcase art, or connect with niche communities, without worrying about commercial polish.

In short: Magazines are professional and wide-reaching; zines are personal and indie — and both are perfect for self-publishing, depending on your vision.

You can create a zine using Blurb’s magazine format for a professional feel with a DIY spirit!
