The premise
Zines miss deadlines because briefs go out late. A calendar with theme, brief, and contributor due-dates fixes most of it.
What AI does well here
- Map themes across 6 issues without repeating.
- Draft 1-paragraph contributor briefs per theme.
- Backwards-plan from publication dates.
What AI cannot do
- Know which themes your audience already heard.
- Replace the editor's taste.
- Recruit contributors for you.
