Creative individuals that would like to see their work featured on the cover of Natural Awakenings magazine of Lancaster and Berks counties and possibly selected for use on the covers in other regions are invited to submit their work. The franchised, monthly, healthy living publication, available free in more than 80 cities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, is known for eye-catching covers that feature original works by artists from around the world.           

“Because our readership exceeds 3.6 million, this is an exciting opportunity for artists and photographers to be featured on our covers and reach a huge new audience,” says founder and CEO Sharon Bruckman. Selected artists that grant permission to print their work on a cover are featured in a one-third page “Cover Artist/Photographer” editorial (bio) that introduces the artist and includes their website and contact information.

Natural Awakenings covers reflect monthly editorial themes; several choices are distributed to all franchise publishers. “Our covers celebrate creativity and our mission of mapping out alternate routes to a healthier, happier, longer life that feels good all the way around,” says Bruckman. “Art and photography that are inspiring, uplifting and occasionally whimsical can unlock our imagination and nurture our spirit.”
