Zine Editor

Zine Editor

For over a year, I joined the Pedestrian Dignity project's team to support the publication of their first Civic Action Zine. As editor, I managed author/artist communications, collaborated with project co-founders and graphic designer, coordinated the selection process, and edited poetry, illustrations, and stories for a 32-page bilingual (English/español) pedestrian-focused advocacy chapbook. I also created a digital version that included all translations, contributor bios, image descriptions, and a letter from the editor.

The project included a successful month-long crowdfunding campaign, working with a woman-owned press for printing, braying Braille into all 750 copies, ensuring ADA compliance, and coming together with our small team to assemble the finished booklets.
