“Home Is Wherever You Go,” by @jessezhangart, opens The Home Issue and sets the tone for all that is to come: a collection of stories, reflections, creative interpretations, and activities with “home” at the center. We were touched to find that the many varied and heartfelt contributions were at once inherently personal and beautifully universal. . . . #home #issue8 #illustoria #kidlit #jessezhangart #indiemags #visualstorytelling

🎉NEWS ALERT!!!🎉McSweeney’s will now publish Illustoria Magazine!!! @mcswys, the award-winning indie publisher founded in 1998 by Dave Eggers, takes on @illustoria_mag starting with our next issue! We are beyond thrilled and honored to have the support of McSweeney’s under the leadership of Dave Eggers and Amanda Uhle—who are true believers in the power of print, storytelling, art, and creative expression. Get ready to find everything you’ve come to love and expect in Illustoria and some new goods too—including more opportunities for kids to get involved and be heard. We are especially delighted that McSweeney’s, a nonprofit organization committed to writing that pushes us to see beyond ourselves, will expand circulation with a special focus on schools, libraries, and other organizations who serve under-resourced communities. As publisher and editor-in-chief, this transition comes at the perfect juncture as I find myself drawn to spending more time with my beautiful, growing family and on my own creative projects (more to come on that front!). While I will sorely miss curating and shaping each issue, I’m overjoyed to pass the torch to McSweeney’s, knowing that the publication is in the best hands and that our small but incredibly talented team—without whom Illustoria would not be what it is today—will get to continue their beautiful work. I’m confident that Illustoria will only grow richer and more enticing with each issue, and I cannot wait to enjoy every page of what’s to come as a reader, parent, and creative soul like all of you! . . My heartfelt thanks to all of our readers, contributors, staff, friends, stockists, and supporters who have cheered us along through eight fabulous issues, and to an exciting future with our esteemed new publisher. It is thrilling to say that because of this community, print is beautiful, alive and thriving. Be sure to read our press release and blog post (link in profile) about the transition to learn more about what’s in store. Celebration!!! 🎉🎉 🎉 . . . . #illustoriamcsweeneys #mcsweeneys #illustoria #indiepublishing #kidlit #indiemagazine #print
Counting down the hours to our big reveal tomorrow! Going through so many emotions...a lot of excitement, that pinch-me feeling, and eagerness for the future.... Art by the emotionally sophisticated @flyawhile from (E)Motions, Issue 5: Motion. #feelings
