Hello everyone!

I am SO excited to be here!

Our April issue is on the way and will be on shelves on March 16th! I am thrilled with it and can’t wait for you all to see it and read it.

It takes a lot of trust to be given this huge role, so I think it’s important you guys get to know me! My name is Megan and I’ve worked across STELLAR since 2017, so maybe you’ve seen my name in print and online before! I started as a staff writer and absolutely loved writing features and interviewing people during my time at the mag! About a year ago I decided to give marketing a go, and really enjoyed it! Though of course, I missed the creativity of magazines!

When the offer came up to return to STELLAR, as editor-in-chief, I of course jumped at it! I’ve wanted this role since I was in transition year in school, so part of it doesn’t feel real, while at the same time, it feels like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, which is so lovely!

STELLAR has always been my favourite magazine – since long before I worked here. There is so much I already love! However, I have big plans for 2023! I’m most excited about profiling some really interesting people this year. I have an exciting list of cover stars on the way, and some new regular features which will give us a chance to highlight noteworthy people from all walks of life. I also want to continue to shine a light on the issues that matter most to women and things that reflect our readers. That includes everything from health and friendship to motherhood, singlehood, social justice and building a career. Or just going easy on yourself and giving yourself more patience and compassion! I think all women need that!

There is obviously so much more to cover, and we’d be here all day if I wrote them all down, but just know that the talented team is working so hard to bring you your gorgeous magazine every month!

I love that STELLAR is such a brilliant balance between must-have beauty, incredible fashion shoots, lifestyle inspo and fun light-hearted pieces, as well as tackling more difficult topics like women’s health, powerful first-person pieces, and stories that need attention.

I want to thank all the loyal readers who have been with us for so long, I hope I continue to bring you exactly what you want! And to our new readers, thank you for joining us, we’re excited for you to see what STELLAR is all about!

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please let me know! Email megan@stellar.ie or find me @meganroantree on social!

That’s all for now!

See you on the 16th!

Megan 🙂 x
