A perzine or personalzine is a zine in which all the content is written by one person. The term was used in science fiction fandom, but is now also applied to non-fannish zines. See Zinewiki's list of perzines.

Tabebuian is described as a personalzine by Devra Langsam in the editor's note to Masiform D 3. In the ad section, it is revealed to be a "science fiction/math/education minimag" originating in Miami.

Issue 3 of Probe (November 1975), dedicated to coverage of the Star Trek conventions, was a perzine by default and described that way by its editor Winston Howlett. He wrote all the content because outside of a few pieces of art, nobody had sent him anything.
