While it’s technically a women’s publication, Venus thrives on music content. It was in Chicago, with the help of volunteer-spirited family and friends, that we built my scrappy fanzine into a full-color, glossy, internationally distributed magazine about women in the arts and DIY culture.

About Amy…

The Chicago Reader reported earlier this year that the magazine was bought and hopes were high that a more general interest audience would keep it afloat.
