Northern Michigan Woman Magazine is a community for women and by women. We publish a bimonthly magazine that can be found on local newsstands, and will also arrive in your inbox! We strive to serve women on all fronts – business, health, home, family, inspiration and more. We also hold networking events and women’s groups to serve you and help connect women in the area. The main goal for our women’s networking groups is to always have a fun way to get together, learn about others in the community, meet new friends and stay connected.
Northern Michigan is also a proud member investor of Traverse Connect.
Northern Michigan Woman Magazine also serves as a vehicle to reach a powerful consumer audience: women! Learn more here on how we can help your business reach decision-makers for their business, their homes and families. Interested in writing an article? Check out the information here.
