History
Morgan began publishing Emerald City in September 1995, and the magazine contained numerous reviews of books and reports on the current state of science fiction fandom. The vast majority of the published material was written by Morgan herself, though several guest writers also contributed. Ending its run in November 2006, the 'zine was published on a regular monthly schedule, Morgan having produced a total of 134 issues, all of which are still available As of November 11 for download in multiple formats. Morgan also maintained a popular weblog with current news related to science fiction and fantasy writing and publishing.
On August 1, 2006, Morgan announced on her weblog that "Emerald City will be ceasing publication over the next couple of months." Subsequently, the September 2006 issue (number 133) was described on Morgan's email list as "The final(-ish) edition." A last issue, number 134, was published in November 2006. The closing lines were, "Exeunt, pursued by a giant squid. / Best wishes, / Cheryl."
