Portland is home to many authors who started out by self-publishing
their work in zines, and went on to have work published by bigger
publishers, or by becoming publishers themselves. This program will
bring together some of these authors, as well as other creators,
entrepreneurs, and connectors in the local zine community, to discuss
how Portland’s economy and culture enable innovation and access
in publishing. Recorded live at Multnomah County Library US Bank Room, February 7, 2015.
