ConNotations

The most prominent Arizona newszine was ConNotations, the newszine of the Central Arizona Speculative Fiction Society (CASFS), which ran for over two decades.

It started in 1991 as a quarterly magazine, but changed to a tabloid newspaper format in 1996 and went bi-monthly in 2001.

Thanks

Many thanks to Stephanie Bannon for providing the PDFs from 1999 onwards made available above. Many thanks to Margie Grady for providing physical copies of earlier editions that I could scan. Watch this space for more of those! And thanks to Jim Strait for providing the PDF for Vol. 1 No. 3.

The WOD

Patti Hultstrand, the final editor of ConNotations, founded The WOD (which stood for Weavers Of Dreams) in 2013 with a tagline of 'The Voice of the Pop Culture Community'. It published inconsistently for two years.
