HOWL is a bi-annual print magazine featuring artwork, interviews and stories that capture the complexities of creative motherhood.

A publication to challenge the assumption that anything said, made or shared relating to the experience of mothering is pedestrian, uninteresting or trite. HOWL posits that this mutual experience is worth weaving into the fabric of art, culture, literature and design.

HOWL is created in Victoria, Australia, on Bunurong Land by Haylee Collins — a mother, writer, marketer and publisher with over a decade experience across magazines, books and digital publishing.
