For some time now Bonanza Brand (an official website) have been planning to bring out a Bonanza ezine. For those who don't know what an ezine is - it is an electronic magazine. Instead of publishing it on paper you publish it on the net.

The first edition will be out in January 2009. It will be quarterly and available for FREE to download off the Bonanza Brand website in pdf format. You will need a pdf viewer like Adobe Reader (which is free to download off the net) to read it.

Basically the ezine will be a magazine for the fans of Bonanza by the fans. You will be able to learn how fans from all over the world celebrate the show and more about the show as well.

Bonanza Brand are looking for contributors, so if you are interested in writing an article about the show or one on how you celebrate the show (e.g. it could be craft, hobbies, collections, get togethers with other, or just your views on the show), then let me know about it. If you can't get it ready for the first edition and want to put it in a later one then just let us know that too.

The deadline for the first edition will be Christmas Day as we are looking at putting the ezine together during the Christmas/New Year break.

If you want to submit any pictures to go with your article, then just send those in as well. At the moment, we are looking into publishing pictures that are copyrighted by Bonanza Ventures, so any pictures you send in will have be owned by you.

If you have any suggestions of what you would like to be seen in the ezine just let us know here. We're very flexible and opened to any ideas that anybody might have. This will not be a magazine just for the members of Bonanza Brand, it will be for the whole online Bonanza community. So if you know people who aren't members here then let them know about the ezine and let them know that we are looking for contributors. These people can contact me at sneddy@bonanzabrand.net
