About MyMaine
MyMaine Media was founded to build an authentic community, foster relationships, and highlight the importance of connection and collaboration. We see the world through a distinctly Maine filter—where down-to-earth sensibilities coexist with rugged charm, and beauty balances practicality. Through MyMaine, we aim to share this genuine state-of-mind with our readers, offering a perspective that’s as varied and honest as the state itself. Our transparency and sense of community extend to our partnerships. You won’t find traditional advertisements in MyMaine. Instead, our partnership relationships offer unique and personalized opportunities to collaborate, demonstrate expertise, and share credit, on and off the page.
Our 108-page, perfect bound volumes are printed in Augusta, Maine on sustainable paper and are released in February, May, August & November. We proudly have the largest print run in Maine; our first issue has 20,000 copies distributed throughout the state and via subscription. Let us help the story behind your business reach our coveted demographic.
