Emerald City isn't like that. It is designed to be read on paper, but it uses email and the Web as a distribution medium . You can read it on line if you want, but it is also possible to download it in a printable form. Ah, another one of those terms. A perzine is something which is primarily or completely the work of one person, and which exists as a sort of conversation between that person and the readers.
Emerald City is a very personal magazine.
I try not to make it too focussed on me because my life is pretty boring. But because the 'zine is a communication between me and my subscribers, you will find some things that you would not find in a professional magazine. No, I just liked the title. See below for more detail on why I chose it. The primary content of the magazine is reviews of science fiction and fantasy books.
