Why subscribe to our mini-magazine Postcards From Lorraine & Trish?
For three decades we were editor-in-chiefs on the UK’s best selling glossy magazines; ELLE, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Red, Instyle and The Sunday Times Style. We learnt an awful lot about women and women’s lives in that time. Four years ago though we took a deep breath and stepped out of magazines to turn our 25-year friendship into a new career! We teamed up to launch a chart-topping podcast (Postcards From Midlife) and we learnt even more from experts, celebrities, writers and a host of inspirational women who shared their experiences with us too. But we missed magazines. Then we had a lightbulb moment: what if we shared everything we have learnt from all the amazing women we have met over the years in a mini-magazine of our own? We could offer guidance on all aspects of women’s lives at every age and stage, making their days easier, we could open our contacts book and dive into our network of experts to offer life advice that makes sense, we could bring our podcast agony aunts to life too. In short we could help remove some of the stress in women’s lives in a playful, accessible and easy to read way; which is what we aim to do with this mini-magazine. We’re here for you, for women of all ages and backgrounds twice a month. Alongside the advice we’ll use our glossy mag experience to pull together short shopping lists of great buys you’ll love, we’ll do cultural round ups to save you the time of wondering what to read, watch or listen to, we’ll get recipes that fit your lifestyle, we’ll interview fantastic women with even more advice at the finger tips and we’ll also help solve your career, health, travel, relationship and parenting problems (we have six children, two husbands, two dogs and a cat Margot between us). And if you subscribe you’ll get voice notes from the celebrities we interview on our podcast and a behind the scenes look at the show too. We’ll work hard on your mini-magazine and in order to make it the best it can be we’ll need to ask you to pay £5 a month for both issues. For that you’ll be joining our community of experts who can help you personally with problems you may face in life: we are particularly good on health and careers for women of all ages. In the future we’ll be launching events (there’s one planned for March) where we can meet you in person if you subscribe here and help you with your life dilemmas. And we’ll also be available to help you personally with your problems in future too if we make our business model here work. We’ve got big plans and would love you to join our community.
