How To Dress for Success Mystery by Linette Lao
Writer and graphic designer Linette Lao teaches a course on zines at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, and is a friend-since-childhood of writer Minal Hajratwala who gave this "treasure" to the Miniature Book Library. THANKS to both Linette and Minal! I truly appreciated the story whose ending was profoundly unexpected!







~~

THANK YOU, zine edited by Amanda Laughtland (Teeny Tiny Press, Washington, August 2021). Gratitude to editor/publisher Amanda Laughtland for creating this zine as a fundraiser for foster youth, and offering space for me to say Thank You to the doll-avatars on my writing desk to encourage me to finish my second novel, COLLATERAL DAMAGE (working title).

Between Spaces by Cristina Querrer (Your Artsy Girl, Florida, 2020). Poetry. Size: 2.75" x 4.25"
