(see
under: Reads/Articles/ Zine Making and other articles) "She Made This was
started as a resource for gRRLs who create their own small businesses and independent
projects in February of 2000. (...) I'd like to see SMT grow into a community
of women who stand up for their art. Who accept all things that aren't often viewed
as art because of standards that people create based off their opinions of what
art "should" be." (by Elaine)

is a archive of material that we've put together over the years. Starting it off
is a collection of Zine Reviews from past issues of Factsheet Five. We also have
a page dedicated to E-zines with more ezines than you can read, and ezine resources.
If you're ready to publish your own zine, but don't know where to start, we have
a collection of how-to pages and Zine Making tips. If you still have questions,
you can get the FAQs. And if you wish to acquire some of the paper-based zines,
obscure books or generally unheard music, we have Online Catalogs. And if you
publish a zine or work for a store that carries zines, this List of distributors
may or may not be useful to you. Finally, to get some ideas about this whole zine
thing, we have an articles and events page." Formerly published by Mike Gunderloy,
