Our StoryA beautiful luxury magazine for the curious, intelligent & trailblazing women of St. Johns.
St. Johns Woman Magazine is a luxe new lifestyle publication created by St. Johns Magazine (your trusted local voice since 2012). Designed especially for women in every season of life, it blends inspired storytelling, elevated style, and a true love for the community we call home.
“By curating content that is uplifting, thought-provoking, and practical, we will help women not only see themselves in these pages but also feel empowered to expand their lives in new directions.”
We love collaborating with local businesses, telling stories about amazing women, and we have a lot of fun!
“The idea for St. Johns Woman Magazine evolved in conversations and brainstorming sessions between Suzanne and me, and was inspired by the amazing women of St. Johns, Florida, whom I had the pleasure of getting to know at social and cultural events over the past few years. I thought - wow - wouldn’t it be great to start a magazine focused on Women? I have a background in women’s history as well (a Master’s Degree), and I had always wanted to do something like this but did not have the time when my kids were growing up.
The challenge was that somehow, we would have to help women envision the magazine before it ever existed. But the idea took hold!
We focus a lot on collaboration. That is the essence of St. Johns Woman Magazine.
So - here we are a year later with two issues of our new, amazing, luxury magazine for the women of St. Johns Florida! I am so excited.”

FounderAfter launching her first magazine in 2005 while raising a young family, Debbie discovered a creative calling she’s never stepped away from. Publishing became the rare intersection where artistry, entrepreneurship, and the cultivation of fresh ideas could coexist.
In 2012, after falling in love with the St. Augustine area and moving to St. Johns from upstate NY, she founded St. Johns Magazine as a publication dedicated to celebrating the people, businesses, and stories that shape life in St. Johns. More than a decade later, her work continues to reflect a deep appreciation for thoughtful storytelling rooted in place, creativity, and connection.
Suzanne was born in St. Louis, MO and made her way to Julington Creek in sunny St. Johns in 2020, where she now lives with her husband and three children (24, 22 & 20) and dog Coco. She has a true passion for connecting with others and building relationships in the community. Whether it’s chatting with a small business owner or discovering a hidden local gem, Suzanne thrives on bringing people together and sharing stories that inspire.
