The 5th issue of Coven Magazine has just been released, both in print and online. The online version is available to view right here, right now, and the lovely printed copies should be arriving at our stockists nationwide today. Read Issue 5 here.
I always love the covers of Coven Magazine; I’m so glad I decided right at the beginning to use illustrators rather than photographs and we’ve been lucky to have some brilliant artists involved. This issues cover is adorned with a beautiful piece by Isabel Greenberg, who I discovered after browsing the prints in Exeter store No Guts, No Glory. There’s more about her debut graphic novel, ‘The Encyclopaedia Of Early Earth’ inside the mag.
We’ve a couple of great articles from Hannah Bailey, who chatted to Nora Vasconcellos at the X Games in Barcelona and braved her nerves to quiz the legendary Elissa Steamer. Thanks for your contributions, Hannah, much appreciated!
Alongside these pieces, you can read interviews with surfer Lakey Peterson, humanitarian Shannon Galpin and her work with the Afghan National Women’s Cycling Team and find our more about illustrator Sam Dunn, who recently collaborated with our pals at Fifth Floor. There’s also a piece about my first trip to an Olympic velodrome.
We’ve also one of the most beautiful shoots to ever grace our pages, ‘Nocturnal Pursuits,’ which is photographed by Nathan Gallagher, styled by Mireia Roelas and features a very beautiful lady, my friend Maisie Hill. Be sure to check that out.
Thank you so much to all who’ve helped me out with this issue and thank you to Vans and Knog for supporting a magazine that I hope people will find entertaining, informative and inspiring. If any other brands would like to get onboard and reach our audience, I’d be delighted as every issue is a labour of love, a struggle, a leap of faith and an attack on my personal bank account thanks to my belief in doing something for us ladies!
