Sappho was published in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. in the 1940s. It was an 8 1/2 by 11" mimeographed fanzine with an airbrushed colour cover. Six issues were released; a seventh issue was put together but never published. Published issues were released in June, August and October 1943, March and September 1944, and July 1945. The last two issues were distributed through the Fantasy Amateur Press Association mailings.

Watson and Ebey also co-published the fanzines Bay Area Pullova (1944) and Tag-Line Musings (1944), and a collection of poetry by Marijane Nuttal (Crying Snowflakes, 1945).
