The general life cycle of a zine is as follows:
Interest check: To determine what the public would like to see in a zine and establish direction. Common questions include
Mod apps: To recruit additional mods to help the head mod with organization of the zine. Some zines may already have an established mod team with most or all of the positions and will skip this step. Common positions include art, merch, writing, graphics/layout, social media, finance, shipping, and intern mods.
Most zines will generally have a limited number of leftover copies available for sale after they’ve fulfilled preorders.
Generally, this is extremely rare. There would need to be sufficient buying interest for a reprint to be finanicially viable.
