Women of the Wick is an independent feminist media building more equitable and creative cities through storytelling.

The first WOWZINE issue is here!

With a collection of personal stories from 15 creative contributors, the magazine explores the theme of "Belonging" through art, sexuality, identity, gender, entrepreneurship and urbanism. These unheard stories need to be told, listened and shared.

The 80-page magazine includes illustrations, artwork, photography, long and short-format essays, manifestos and poetry.

Who are Women of the Wick?

Women of the Wick started as a podcast series by writer and artist Sara Kärpänen in 2019, to document the personal stories by women and non-binary practitioners in East London.

Today, Women of the Wick produces a bi-annual print magazine WOWZINE, Girl Get A Real Job podcast series, facilitates monthly workshops for creative freelancers, and works with entrepreneurs and partners across London.

We’ve grown from one woman’s team to an eclectic collective of creatives who are all passionate about storytelling and building more equal and equitable futures.
