When you join, you’ll tell us where to send your subscription to. Your credit card will not be charged until 25 subscriptions are pledged (you’ll get warnings as the campaign gets closer to tipping). Then your contact information will go directly to our Subscriptions Manager. You will begin receiving Venus Zine to enjoy while you can use that extra change you saved to:

• download music from artists you read interviews with in Venus,

• pay for bus ride to see a show you heard about in Venus,

• order a book you read a review of in Venus or

• just enjoy an orange-mocha-frappachino while reading Venus.

Why you should read Venus Zine

Because you miss half the picture if your favorite magazine highlights primarily male acts/artists/comedians/entrepreneurs, whoever. Read about the women involved with music festivals, craft fairs, tours, upcoming groups, books, movies, fashion, decorating… need I continue? And right next to those articles see interviews with Deborah Harry, Missy Elliott and Margaret Cho. We highlight male groups as well (we love our male supporters!), but emphasize the contributions that women have made to our creative, and everyday, lives.

Really, we mean business — and we’d love yours.

But don’t take my word for it…

Press on Venus Zine

Chicago Tribune (June 26, 2007)
“OUR 50 FAVORITE MAGAZINES”
“A locally published magazine with a focus on women in the arts, Venus Zine features high-profile stars alongside independent artists. The magazine is jam-packed with profiles, interviews, and feature stories about female musicians, artists, filmmakers and designers. A magazine that shows women can rock.”

USA Today (June 1, 2006)
“FIVE ALTERNATIVES TO ROLLING STONE”
“I always find Venus in the ‘women’s interest‘ section, which is kind of a shame, because it offers so much more than those flimsy fashion rags. While it’s technically a women’s publication, Venus thrives on music content. The current issue covers Sonic Youth, Dresden Dolls and Pretty Girls Make Graves — and Amy Sedaris adorns the cover! My husband reads it without shame.”

Why does there have to be fine print?

Because you do have to be a U.S. resident (have a U.S. mailing address) to receive this offer. Pledges without a valid U.S. mailing address will not be approved as members of this campaign.

Because the credit card companies charge 3.5% on all orders, which makes the total $311 dollars instead of the basic math that you did that came up with $300. Don’t worry though, we’ve got it covered.
