From the Editor

Every issue begins with a question I can't stop thinking about.

This one began with a feeling:

What happens when you realize you haven't felt truly excited by your own life in a while?

Not unhappy, not necessarily lost.

Just a little less alive than you remember being.

This issue is about finding your way back to yourself through the things that make you feel alive.

Before You Order

FAQ

Everything you may want to know before bringing an issue home.

01 What format is the digital edition?

The digital edition is delivered as a PDF and can be read on your phone, tablet, or computer. Once delivered, it’s yours to keep and return to whenever you like.

Published issues are available immediately after purchase. If you’re preordering an upcoming issue, you’ll receive your digital edition by email on publication day.

02 How do I access the audio experience included with my issue?

Your issue includes access to a private audio experience created to accompany the magazine. You’ll receive a private link where all the audio is ready to listen to, with the accompanying words inside the issue so you can listen, read along, or experience it in whichever way you prefer.

03 Will there be a print edition?

We’re actively working on bringing SABRINA to print. We want the physical edition to feel every bit as beautiful and collectible as the world inside the magazine, so we’re taking the time to get it right. We’ll make an announcement as soon as print editions become available.

04 Can I request a refund?

Because SABRINA digital editions are delivered electronically, all digital edition purchases are final and non-refundable once the issue has been delivered or accessed.

For preorders, refund requests may be made before the issue’s publication and delivery date. Please review our Refund Policy for the complete terms.
