Individuals and institutions can now subscribe to the digital edition of Violet Book and access the latest issue across web, iOS and Android platforms. The brand new digital resource will grow with each new issue published and has been brought to life in collaboration with archiving experts Exact Editions.

Launched by fashion stylist Leith Clark in 2014, Violet Book magazine and its website counterpart are spaces to investigate powerful femininity and share women’s stories and wisdom whilst celebrating experience, age and honesty. Each landmark issue of the bi-annual magazine features an international cast of creative women; Issue 13, debuting in digital form with two covers, features actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw and director Miranda July. The magazine is donating 50% of the issue’s digital sales to the Young Women’s Trust, to help economically vulnerable young women hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis.

The cutting-edge functionalities of the Exact Editions platform mean accessing and navigating the new issue is a seamless experience; a comprehensive search facility allows for specific topics or people to be located in an instant, whilst cross-platform accessibility means issues can be accessed from anywhere and everywhere.
