Sorcery and Science was founded in 2005 by Jessica Taylor, an
avid science fiction and fantasy reader, writer and role-player. Her good and talented friend, Viki Cupaiuolo, agreed
to function as assistant editor when real life let her. So together we now do this crazy thing, Sorcery & Science Magazine.
How it all started?
I founded this magazine because I wanted share my passion for fantasy and science fiction
with likeminded people. I found that we readers of fantasy and science fiction are
often more involved and more creative than others, and I noticed that we love
to write -- from journal entries to novels, we often at least like to try. We love
exploring new worlds. I wanted to create my own magazine, be it on the internet or in print,
so that I could help in getting more of our thoughts, more of our stories out there. I thought of
things that people might be interested in, interested enough to read this webzine. I came up with
a few answers, a few ideas, and we'll see what happens.
I wondered if readers would be interested in interacting
with the publisher of a magazine as contributors. Would they like to write reviews about
last issue's stories and have them printed? Would they be interested in sweepstakes where
the winner has his or her story printed no matter what? How would they take it if we then
proceeded to critique this story? Or how about it if a writer of a published story were to
also write a diary about the process of writing that particular story -- would people be
interested?
Also, being a roleplayer myself I couldn't help but wonder if others like me would be interested in reading about this
fascinating pastime. Could I get dungeon masters to write about how they create their
adventures? Could I get roleplayers to send me articles about fun adventures?
Would others be interested in that?
With your help, I'll find out!
If you like what you see, what you read and think reading it in
print would be even better, you could support that by ordering a
first free issue. There's also a survey involved asking for your opinion. You can fill out
the survey and not order an issue, or you can order an issue and not fill out the survey, or
you can do neither or both. Entirely up to you.
