Skirt!It's your story...

skirt!® magazine began as a free monthly periodical, published by Nikki Hardin out of Charleston, South Carolina, who developed the magazine as a creative outlet and authentic voice for women. Since its inception in 1994 the magazine has grown to an estimated readership of 800,000 per issue and is expanding into ten new markets this year. For the first time in publishing history, The Globe Pequot Press has partnered with skirt!® magazine to create skirt!® books, our first imprint dedicated solely to publishing women’s nonfiction books.

skirt!® is all about women. . . their work, play, families, creativity, style, health and wealth, bodies and souls. skirt!® is an attitude. . . spirited, independent, outspoken, serious, playful and irreverent, sometimes controversial, always passionate. skirt!® books brings to bookstores everywhere a collection of original writing destined to soar into the hands of women across the country. Under the direction of skirt!® publisher Nikki Hardin, executive marketing director Inger Forland, and executive editor Mary Norris, skirt!® books will publish about a dozen books each year, sweet and serious, tart and touching, all destined to follow the wings of skirt!® magazine and fly onto bestseller lists.
