Members and Memberships

The Magazine Association of BC is a member-run organization.

The Magazine Association of BC (MagsBC) was founded in 1993 to represent, connect and promote the British Columbia magazine industry.

The Magazine Association of BC is a member-driven, not-for-profit organization which believes in the interconnected cultural and economic value of a vital British Columbia magazine publishing industry.

MagsBC works to foster an environment where new magazines are nurtured, established magazines are supported and magazine staff are able to develop their skills.

Our membership consists of magazine publishing companies and affiliate organizations, publishers, editors, writers, designers, salespeople, printers and developers who work for magazine titles that range from literary and lifestyle to business and news, and are in both online and in print formats.

FULL (MAGAZINE) MEMBERS

Full (voting) and probationary memberships are available to publishers of a British Columbia magazine, journal, digital magazine, or other periodical of a cultural, social, economic, political or artistic nature.

Full members have access to all the programs and services offered by MagsBC, including a member profile on our website.

They include:
