Kori Michele Handwerker ’19 to debut Tiny Book Science at SPX

TINY BOOK SCIENCE by faculty and alum Kori Michele Handwerker ’19 will debut at this year’s Small Press Expo (SPX) in Bethesda, MD, the premier event for graphic novels, comics and cartooning. The self-published zine workbook was inspired by Kori’s years of making and teaching about zines. Kori’s passion for zines can be seen throughout the 60-page educational publication, which they designed and drew entirely. TINY BOOK SCIENCE features a library of handouts and lessons for zine-makers and other educators to teach about zines and how to make them. A digital copy is also available.
