Check out what the Writer's Digest Self-Published Awards had to say about Magpie Times:
"The front and back cover give us a close-up look at the quality and craftmanship of your artwork. The cover appears to be professionally designed and is compellingly related to the content/genre.
Having previously been largely unfamiliar with most of these art forms, I am highly impressed with the creativity and attention to detail. I appreciate the breadth of work included and enjoyed the uniqueness of everyone’s voices as they wrote about their process, inspiration, etc. The patterns and how-to instructions for various projects are a particularly useful aspect of the magazine, especially the repurposed chocolate reborn into healthier candies!"
Our cover was shortlisted by Chanticleer Book Awards!
We're hard at work planning the themes for 2026.
Spring issue: Garden Party
Summer issue: Summer Breeze
Fall issue: Basket of Memories
