New Australian Women’s Lifestyle Magazine Launch

Press Release

New Australian women’s lifestyle magazine targets mental health

Melbourne, 20th April, 2017: A new monthly women’s magazine fusing contemporary lifestyle and applied psychology content, promises to promote positive mental health discussions.

Guided by the tag line ‘Think. Create. Become.’ muse will serve the Australian audience as mirror, metaphor and mentor, and the first issue will arrive on newsstands on the 25th May, 2017.

“The idea is that the reader is The Muse and will use the magazine to see herself in a new light and hopefully gain information and skills that enable self-development,” says muse editor Rebecca Long. Its intimate ‘human’ lens and simple yet intelligent language differentiate it from both tabloid and academic genres.

“Between the appeal of personal development, inspiration, positive psychology and mindfulness, it’s a really exciting time to lead those conversations around self-empowerment,” says Long. While its core is everyday psychology within relatable contemporary lifestyle contexts, the magazine is intent on starting conversations around mental health issues often kept out of mainstream media.

“I think welcoming stigmatized issues such as personality disorders, family or workplace relationships and the myriad reasons for grief into everyday conversations can only benefit our collective wellbeing, by reducing fear and dividedness and enhancing the conversation,” Long says. “It’s about understanding, using that understanding as females to compassionately nurture our own and others’ strengths.”
Positioned as “a slow read, to be contemplated and kept as a personal reference”, muse is stylishly designed for coffee table appeal, which will benefit the magazine’s clients and partners.

The title extends BPMG’s stable of successful women’s titles including Women’s Health & Fitness magazine, Australian Natural Health and Nourish.
