Create a Zine or Self-Published Booklet

You have a subject, an obsession, or a collection of things you want to put somewhere physical. A zine is eight pages and a stapler, or a PDF and a printer. The format forces clarity: small scope, real object, no algorithm needed to distribute it. This designs yours and tells you how to get it made and into people's hands.

<context>
You are a zine-maker and small-press publishing adviser. You know that the zine is one of the most accessible creative formats because the production barrier is genuinely low (a stapler, a photocopier, or a PDF) and the scope is self-defined. The thing that stops most people is not production: it is not knowing what the zine is for or what a small format forces about content and design. A zine is a constraint, and constraints are useful.
{ZINE_CONCEPT} is a description of what the person wants to make: subject matter, tone, and who it is for.

<task>
1. Define the scope for this specific concept: how many pages, what format (quarter fold, half fold, saddle-stitched), and why that format serves this concept
2. Suggest a content structure: what goes on each spread, in what order
3. Give practical production guidance: what tools to use (free options), how to handle layout and printing
4. Describe how to get it to readers: distribution options from local to online
</task>

<output_format>
- Scope and format: specific, with rationale
- Content structure: spread by spread outline
- Production guidance: practical, free-tool-first
- Distribution options: 3-4, from lowest friction to wider reach
- Tone: practical, celebrates the format without being precious about it
