Frequently Asked Questions

---

Unlike many other popular magazines for girls, we don't focus on celebrity culture, beauty routines, or impressing a crush. 

We share:

• Real Girls Who Rock 
• Career Inspiration
• Creative activities & art spotlights
• Travel & global culture  
• Self-care & life skills
• Friendship advice 

Tween is a space for female empowerment and girls supporting girls. You won't find overly mature outfits and photoshopped glamour. We celebrate individuality and being yourself.

Tween is thoughtfully tailored to preteen girls ages 8 to 12. This unique age group often feels they've outgrown traditional children's magazines, yet parents recognize they're not quite ready for the mature themes found in teen publications. We bridge this gap, celebrating the 'in-between' stage with content that’s fun, inspiring, and age-appropriate.

We want every girl to see herself and find inspiration in Tween Magazine, so you'll find diverse representation and inclusivity in every issue.

We print quarterly issues, 4x per year: January, April, July and October.

When you sign up, we will send you the most recently printed magazine so you don't have to wait months to receive your first issue. For example, if you sign up in May, we will send you April's issue, then July, October, and January.  

Tween Magazine is a print, glossy-style magazine. We think kids should spend less time on devices, and there's nothing like flipping the pages a magazine, scribbling in the crossword, and hanging pictures on your wall. 

We also love that with a printed magazine, kids come back and spend time reading again and again. 

Yes! We will ship Tween to awesome girls everywhere. We offer Canadian subscriptions, and can ship internationally as well.

We are excited to create this real-life, off-line community for girls and are offering lots of opportunities for them to engage with the magazine. 

Girls can submit their own recipes, comics, drawings, creative writing, travel stories, nominate a Real Girl Who Rocks, and ask her most cringe questions in a judgement-free zone. Email Share@tweenmag.com.

Of course! We wouldn't be surprised if boys also enjoyed our content. But our goal is to create empowering content where girls feel seen, understood, and celebrated. (Have you ever noticed that no one uses the word "empower" when it comes to boys or men?)

Boys typically have more options tailored for them with inspiring content, and Tween creates a safe, female-positive space for young girls. It's important for girls to see themselves being strong, powerful, and capable. 

Yes! We are looking for partners with shared values that fit our mission. Parents can trust that any advertising will be age-appropriate and from a partner we believe in.
