Venus Zine - History

History

Venus Zine, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was founded in East Lansing, Michigan in the Michigan State University dorm room of Amy Schroeder in 1995. It began as a photocopied, black and white, stapled fanzine but over the years grew into a full-size glossy publication. In 2006, it was bought by two magazine publishers, Anne Hartnett and Marci Sepulveda, who also publish Chicago Agent magazine. The magazine covered music, fashion, and culture. The readership is both male and female, but most articles are written by women.

In April 2010, the magazine was relaunched under new ownership of Sarah Beardsley who acquired the publication in February.
