Iconic Glam Kids is a premium editorial magazine celebrating creative children and the families who saw their spark before anyone else did. Founded in 2019, we feature children pursuing modeling, acting, art, sport, music, expression, and imagination, alongside the parents who believed first.

We publish two distinct editions to honor different stages of childhood:

• Notes (ages 0–5). For the parent who noticed first. Notes captures the small noticings of early childhoodor your motherhood journey.
• Stories (ages 6–13). For the parent who believed in the longer arc. Stories tells the creative journeys of older children.

When you apply, our editorial team determines which edition fits your child's story.

We do have themes for special editions but mostly we have open themes as we look for features where there is something meaningful to tell, whether that is one child's journey, the dynamic between siblings, or a motherhood journey that can inspire the Modern Guardians.

Submissions are accepted through our official portal. You'll be asked to provide 4–5 high-quality photos and a short story or reflection about your child.

Your child is published in the issue, and you receive a digital certificate from Iconic Glam Kids®. Print copies of the magazine are available to order separately.

Every submission is reviewed personally by our editorial team. Selection is based on the strength of the story, photography, and the fit with the issue we're building.

No. To maintain our editorial standards, selection is never guaranteed. We turn down submissions every month. Features are chosen based on photo quality, story alignment, and editorial fit.

Applications are read on Mondays, and you will hear from us within two weeks. Please check your spam or promotions folder as well, and add [email protected] to your contacts.

Applying to the Stories Edition (ages 6 to 13) is free. Notes Edition (ages 0 to 5) applications carry a $12 photo review fee, which does not affect selection. Priority Review is an optional $19 add-on that moves your application to the front of the reading queue. It affects only how quickly your application is read, never whether your child is selected, and it has no bearing on print, cover, back cover or spotlight placements. It is non-refundable, because the review is carried out either way. Most families do not take it.

The Digital Library membership is our subscription for readers who want the magazine itself: complete access to our archive of issues in Collector's PDF and interactive flipbook editions, parenting research briefs on the Notes track, creative guides on the Stories track, the historical vault for All-Access members, and our weekly Sunday letters. It is a reader subscription, entirely separate from applying, and it has no bearing on selection.

Your child is published in the issue, and you receive a digital certificate from Iconic Glam Kids®. Printed copies of the magazine are available to order separately.

Digital versions are available through our Digital Library. Subscribers receive full downloadable access to our archive, while featured families receive a specific digital preview of their issue.
