Family Circle is a magazine for women in their 20s through 40s, and focuses on the parents of tweens and teens.

From their media kit:

Family Circle celebrates today's family and champions the women at its center.

Every page provides smart, practical solutions to help moms raise happy, healthy families. With a particular emphasis on the concerns and issues faced by mothers of tweens and teens, Family Circle fills a void as the only family service magazine.

Family Circle delivers essential advice for tough parenting challenges; provides fun suggestions for family activities; offers healthy and delicious recipes; and showcases projects to create a comfortable home. Family Circle helps readers look and feel their best by delivering the latest health, diet and fitness news, and beauty and fashion tips.

Pay: When I wrote for them between 2000 and 2005, the pay topped out at $1.50 per word. This may have changed.

Title?

Notes: At the 2006 Chicago One on One conference, Stephanie Pfeffer said that in order to break into the revamped magazine, even writers who have written to them before have to query via snail mail with clips. However, I have heard from writers who had success pitching via e-mail anyway.
