S&A MAGAZINE

About Us

Our Story

S&A Magazine started as a creative project in April 2020 by Audrey Smith and Shreya G. (who were in sixth and seventh grade at the time)!

Our original website was used to publish volume 1 of the magazine, but we switched to our current website about a year later, sporadically publishing issues between studying and managing our own lives. We went on to self-publish nearly 20 more issues on this site, and to our surprise, we quickly gained popularity with readers all over the world. This motivated us to continue making content until 2023, when we decided to take a break from S&A Magazine.

In August 2021, shortly after publishing the fourth issue in volume 2, The Social Institute reached out to us with their student influencer program. You can read our full interview with them here.

What is “Create Kindness”?

We came up with the phrase “Create Kindness” as our slogan for S&A Magazine when it was first launched in 2020 and we quickly realized that those words were able to almost perfectly describe the goal of our magazine. We wanted our readers to be inspired not only by our art and photography, but we also wanted them to be kind!

Where We Are Now

Unfortunately, now that we are entering adulthood, it has become harder and harder to fully dedicate ourselves to S&A Magazine.

Needless to say, neither of us have lost our aspirations and goals for this project, and we’d still love to share our ideas with others, which is why we’ve created a newsletter. Like our old issues, we will continue to publish recipes, art, and articles, but we’d also love to hear from our audience!

Empowering others through creativity has always been at the core of what we do, which is why we are now accepting submissions for art, photography, and literature.

Our goal is to specifically highlight the works of teens & young adults who, like us, are looking for a platform to share their work.
