Kazoo Magazine

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




Kazoo Magazine is a print magazine aimed at girls ages 5–12 in the United States. Started in 2016 by Erin Bried, the award-winning Kazoo Magazine has featured many famous women, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jane Goodall, and Elizabeth Warren. Kazoo: A Magazine for Girls Who Aren’t Afraid to Make Some Noise publishes quarterly and focuses on stories of female empowerment.[1] From their website, Kazoo

"features stories on art, nature, science, tinkering and tech, cooking, travel, sports, emotions, writing, citizenship and critical thinking. We also feature comics, short stories and fun activities, including mazes, secret codes, dot-to-dots, spot-the-differences, search-and-finds and more!"[2]

Kazoo magazine is an American children's magazine, for girls ages 5–12. Launched in 2016 by Condé Nast veteran magazine writer Erin Bried, after a demoralizing trip to a bookstore with her then 5-year-old daughter, who was looking for a magazine to read.[3] Bried wanted to publish a magazine that would empower young girls.[4] Bried wanted to encourage readers to be loud, have opinions, and ask questions.[5] Kazoo uses the tagline, "For girls who aren't afraid to make some noise."

Kazoo has been recognized by the ASME (The Association of Magazine Editors) as a finalist for a National Magazine award in the category of "General Excellence—Special Interest" in 2017, 2019, and 2021.[6] Kazoo won the National Magazine Award in 2019.[7] Kazoo has been recognized by the Parents Foundation with three Parents' Choice Gold Awards.[8] Kazoo was included in the New York Times Gift Guide, as a best gift for kids in 2020.[9]

Kazoo is independently published, and launched using an online fundraising campaign to fund "a different sort of magazine for girls." Within 30 days, the campaign raised a little more than $170,000 from 3,136 backers—the most-backed journalism project at that time in Kickstarter's history.[10]

Kazoo is an ad-free, reader-funded quarterly magazine, publishing four 64-page issues per year.[11] Kazoo is printed in the USA at Lane Press in VT.[12]

History


In 2016, Kazoo Magazine began as an online Kickstarter campaign. According to their official Kickstarter page[13], between the start of the campaign on March 27, 2016, to the end on April 26, 2016, Kazoo had amassed 3,136 backers to reach a total fundraising amount of $171,215.

After raising funds to begin, the first issue of Kazoo Magazine was released sometime in July of 2016. They now have 14 issues and counting, each with its own theme.
