questions? answers!
who is the magazine for?
Curious Jane Magazine is fantastic for any young maker who likes to get crafty, creative, and inventive.
It’s designed for ages 8 to 14, but younger crafters can enjoy it with grown-up help.
It’s for any library or educator who likes to have fun, fresh projects at their finger-tips. And it’s great for groups like Girl Scout Troops and events like Maker Faires.
what's it like?
CJ Magazine is 7.5in x 9.5in – perfect for a backpack. It’s 72 pages, high-quality printing and paper, and a perfect binding (that’s like a book, no staples here!) It has zero advertising, 10-15 projects per issue, and plenty of other content, activities and fun tidbits. There are lots of ways to enjoy CJ Magazine — whether you’re just flipping through or diving in for a big project.
do i have to be crafty?
Nope! You just need to be curious. We curate accessible projects, in CJ-style, with easy-to-find supplies. Our how-to steps are easy to follow, and we’re always here to help!
what if i'm super crafty?!
Awesome! It’s for you too! Our projects can be enjoyed and completed at all different levels. You’re sure to be inspired. You can always take our projects to the next step. (And don’t forget to show us!)
i’m giving this as a gift. when will it arrive? can i send a note?
Yes! At the end of the subscription process, you will have a chance to enter a gift message to the recipient (along with an email address) and it will arrive in the inbox of that family.
The publication is quarterly and depending on the timing of your subscription, the first issue may take a while to arrive! If you’d like the current issue to come right away, you can add that to your subscription and it will be shipped the same week.
what is your publication schedule?
We are a quarterly publication and new issues arrive on newsstand and in mailboxes as follows:
early November (subscribe by October 1)
early February (subscribe by January 1)
early May 1 (subscribe by April 1)
early August 1 (subscribe by July 1)
If you subscribe after a cut-off date *and* would like the current issue, you can pick up a copy at B&N or add the current issue to your subscription at check-out for $12.
can i order single copies or back issues?
Yes! You can order the current issue – on its own – at any time, and we’ll pop it in the mail to you right away.
Back issues will be available as soon as we have them 🙂 Curious Jane Magazine closed November 2020 and *re-launched* November 2022. As we gain ground in our new publication schedule, we will offer the back issues for purchase.
