ECHO is…
my “low-budget DIY feminist publishing and creation project” started in 2001. I make zines, comix, and pamphlets (and sometimes music, spoken word, and crafts too).
Apart from posting about my own zines, I use this blog to announce feminist zine-related news, especially from Belgium, write zine reviews and share articles about DIY feminist zine culture.
(ECHO is not a distro or publishing company!)
