welcome to older sister!

Our readers range from middle schoolers to twenty-somethings! We make every issue safe and age-appropriate for our youngest readers, and fun enough that older readers can flip through it for a hit of teen mag nostalgia.

Parents, feel free to reach out with any questions about our content.

In order to cut down on paper waste, each magazine is printed individually once you place an order. Production time takes about 3-5 days, and shipping time will depend on your location. Please allow 1-2 weeks to receive your order!

We ship to: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Not yet, but we’re working on it! In the meantime, join us on Substack and you'll be the first to hear when a new issue goes to print.

• Older Sister doesn't pay contributors right now.

• By submitting, you're confirming this is your own original work, and that you're okay with it being published in print and/or online.

We’re not hiring at the moment, but we hope to in the future! You can reach out via the submission form if you’re looking to contribute to an issue.
