History

Editor-in-chief and CEO of Zooey Magazine Lucia Tran established an online magazine in 2008, and then converted the site to a print publication in 2010.[3] Lucia based the magazine on the mission of empowering women through entertainment, which is why she named the publication Zooey, after the character Zooey Glass from J.D. Salinger's novel Franny and Zooey, who is uplifting, smart, and very capable.[4]

Inspiration

Zooey Magazine is inspired by magazines including Interview, Bust, W, Frankie, Kinfolk, and Lula Magazine.[5]

Editor-in-chief

Lucia Tran (born May 12, 1993), an English major at UCLA who graduated in 2015, created the magazine when she was 14 years old.[1] Lucia has been noted to have enjoyed reading magazines at an early age, sparking her interest in joining the magazine industry in later years - which led her to start her online magazine in 2008, and later launching the print publication in 2010 when she was a senior in high school.[6]

Content

Zooey featured celebrities, fashion, art, human-interest stories, and photography with an independent ("indie") perspective while catering to an audience pursuing simple living.
