PR Pitches Are Always Welcome at Girls' Life
When EIC and publisher of Girls’ Life Karen Bokram was working for Seventeen, she approached her boss to suggest that the magazine add a section for younger teens.

So Bokram struck out on her own, and founded the tween mag Girl’s Life, which has been going strong for almost 20 years. Luckily for her, advertisers have realized what a potent economic force tweens are, and she has no problem getting them to work with the pub.
