Ex Why Zed Print Case Study: Shooter Literary Zine

As pioneers in creative writing journal printing, ExWhyZed cherishes opportunities to partner with unique publications such as the “Shooter Literary Zine”. Let’s dive into this case study to discover the process and magic behind printing this singular journal.

The Concept

Shooter Literary Magazine is a distinguished biannual literary journal that provides a platform for emerging talents in poetry and short fiction. Shooter’s mission is to showcase excellent writing, irrespective of genre. It invites submissions that demonstrate literary merit and compelling storytelling. This diversity in content creates a unique challenge when it comes to translating the multitude of creative voices into a cohesive printed journal.

The task at hand was to construct a 222x157mm portrait book, marrying the rich tapestry of the written word with the tangible touch of print. The 4-page cover was printed onto 300gsm silk and treated with a matte lamination to give it a sophisticated feel. The 80-page text was printed onto 120gsm uncoated paper, ensuring that the written content remained the star of the show.

Utilising our high-speed HP digital press, we trimmed, collated, and perfect bound the pages, adding the final touches to this showcase of creativity. Perfect binding was the choice of the day for its sturdiness and professional appearance. More about this method can be explored in our perfect binding set-up guide.

Ex Why Zed makes self publishing a truly pleasurable experience!
Brilliant communication from start to finish. Mike had endless patience for the many questions we asked. The guides provided were easy to follow and super helpful (the video guides are a must watch too). Our order of hardback illustrated children's books was delivered expertly packaged and on time. As for the finished product itself - stunning - a real joy to finally hold, beautifully made and perfectly printed! We couldn't have asked for more. Well, we did - we instantly placed an order for paperback children's colouring books too, which we are equally as happy with. Look forward to working with Ex Why Zed again in the future.
