Dear Ramona Friends,

Happy November — the month of Ramona Volume Three’s release!

Phew! What a year this has been. I don’t know about you but I am pretty exhausted! That could be due to the fact that I am about to give birth and feel like I’ve been pregnant forever, but who knows, it’s been a pretty hectic year for a lot of people. Through it all, I am so grateful for the creativity, inspiration, self-development, and sense of community that Ramona brings me every single day!

I am writing this at 39 weeks pregnant, ready to pop at any moment and about to receive 300 copies of Ramona Volume Three! I’m hoping the baby girl stays in long enough for me to post all the magazines myself, but never fear, I have a team of amazing helpers ready to be my postwomen if necessary!

After this week, I will be having a little break from posting online for maternity, which means the Ramona website will be a little quieter. Sophie, our amazing Creative Director, will be posting some beautiful art interviews and various other content from time to time until I return to work early February. In the meantime, we of course have so much previously published content online for you to enjoy; we have been posting almost daily for three years now, so there’s heaps of articles for you discover!

And on top of that you have a whole new volume of Ramona to devour! You can order your copy here if you haven’t pre-ordered via our Pozible campaign! If you did order via Pozible, your reward is the first on my list and you will receive the mag as soon as I get the delivery! Ramona Magazine for Girls Volume Three is our third annual print volume, with over 120 pages chock-full of beautiful, original, new, and exclusive content. We’ve got articles, interviews, and art on female friendships, solo travel, first loves, demystifying the menstrual cycle, empowerment through exercise, feminist reads, and so much more from over 70 worldwide contributors!

Meanwhile, don’t forget to keep in touch via our Instagram and Twitter, both of which will remain active thanks to Tara Presnell and Aisling Grey, so be sure to follow us, @ramonaforgirls.

Until February, that’s all from me, your most pregnant Director of Ramona Mag!

With love,

Freya
