Individual cover issue purchase was $3.95. The price was later raised to $22.95 through American Girl while a two-year subscription was $39.95.
Initial one-year subscription cost was $19.95. Reasons likely include the social decline of magazine subscriptions and lowered purchases in the United States. In early 2019, the magazine was discontinued with the last issue being the January/Feb 2019 issue. However, there were still no outside product advertisements. The contents page was shrunk to fit an advertisement for American Girl and the behind the scenes page was moved to fit another American Girl advertisement at the back of the magazine. Beginning with the September/October 2009 issue, the magazine featured more advertisements for American Girl products. The magazine advertised itself both as an ad-free magazine (which was possible because of the corporation behind it) and a magazine for girls that did not focus on making them grow up too fast or mature too early (like other magazines aimed at tweens or an older teen audience, such as Seventeen). The magazine eventually shifted its focus more towards articles and information featuring real-life contemporary girls and modern situations. For example, the magazine published various Historical Character Short Stories first, many of which were later collected in single book form. The cover of the premiere issue of American Girl Magazine.Īt release, the American Girl Magazine was more closely affiliated with promoting the products of the American Girl company, especially the Historical Characters.
