Brand New Issue: Nature on the Rocks!

We've got a brand new issue of ZigZagZine out, focused on nature. Read about tidepooling, how wetlands affected Hurricane Katrina, and the fascinating owls of San Francisco. There's great artwork, and a cool story about Genghis Khan. Download it at right. 

Send articles, stories, poems, and artwork for our July/August issue to info@zigzagzine.com by June 15. To find out about each new issue, join our ZigZagZine Announcements mailing list! It's a Google Groups list, but you can join with any e-mail address.

Spring is here, and so is our March/April issue!

The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and we've got a brand new issue of ZigZagZine! What's not to be happy about?

Our March/April issue (which can be downloaded at right) is filled to the brim with stories, art, and photography. We've got an article on elephant seals, and drawings in pencil and pastel. Hope you enjoy it!

One other announcement: We now have an announcement-only mailing list to let you know when new issues of ZigZagZine are published. You can go to ZigZagZine Announcements to sign up for free! Sign up now to get a notice when our May/June issue is published.

You can send your stories, poems, and artwork in for our May/June issue. We need your work by April 15 for our next issue.

ZigZagZine Featured on Podcast!

Today I was interviewed by the publishers of InDesignSecrets.com about how we use the page layout program InDesign to create ZigZagZine.

The interview is part of a podcast about InDesign. You can listen to it here. The interview with me starts about one third of the way into the podcast.

Thanks to Anne-Marie Concepcion and David Blatner for having me on their show!
