Zinester
From ZineWiki
A zinester is a term for any person who creates a zine or runs a zine distro.
The term zinester is preferred by some zine creators who don’t consider themselves writers, authors, or artists, the latter implying some minimum level of education or skill, or distance from their audience.
Also, unlike traditional authors, zinesters are free from editors or publishers that would regulate the content of their work.
