Welcome to EMG-Zine, an e-zine for artists and writers of fantasy and science fiction.

In this issue, Melissa Acker demonstrates how to make paint reference cards, Marina delves into the history of the 'steampunk' genre, Giovanna talks about the life and fairy art of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, Janet offers tips on green con prep, and Ursula explains how to tell when (and when NOT) to panic about Internet-borne news. We have features on LARP (what it is, and how it works), licensing for visual artists, and from Ellen, an in-depth, level-headed look at the legislation behind Orphan Works. There is also train-themed fiction, poetry, and comics! Enjoy! Read this issue!

What's in EMG-Zine?

Content, baby, content! We've got monthly columns from Ursula Vernon, Janet Chui, Melissa Acker, Giovanna Adams, Marina Bonomi and Ellen Million. We've also got articles on marketing and promoting your artwork and writing, tutorials on a range of subjects, information about the theme of the month, a gallery of artwork and desktops - all from trusted and talented members of the fantasy and science fiction communities. We're edited by Jennifer Broschinsky and Ellen Million and powered by a whole host of enchanted search frogs.

Every monthly issue is free, and archives are available to registered members.

Registered members will be able to download wallpapers of the month, participate in polls, and access archived articles. Registration is free and relatively painless! I'd never collect anyone's personal information for the forces of evil, and I'm not going to demand your social security number or anything.

There is also a yearly best-of anthology in print! The finest of the artwork from each month is presented in full, glorious color. The best and most helpful of the articles and tutorials are printed for easy reading in a high-quality publication that will be a useful and beautiful addition to any bookshelf.
