Welcome to the official Web site of the Florida Magazine Association, the No. 1 portal to information, education, employment opportunities, and services designed to help FMA members be successful at every stage of their publishing careers.

Since its inception in 1954, FMA has become the largest state magazine association in the nation, made up of more than 200 publishing professionals, all based in the sunshine state.


Members benefit from affordable, top-quality education; regional and statewide networking opportunities for sharing ideas, information, and solutions; and an annual convention featuring world-class sessions, a gala awards banquet, and a publishing trade show. They also profit from information and updates on publishing issues such as legislation, taxation and postal issues, and paper-market trends that affect the industry both regionally and nationally.

In addition, FMA’s prestigious “Charlie” Awards contest, held each summer, rewards magazine excellence -– from photography to headlines -- around the state.

As an FMA member, you can exchange thoughts and ideas, talk over common problems, learn new techniques for improving your bottom line, and make key contacts in the industry. FMA is dedicated to helping you be more successful in your publishing-related endeavors. The Florida Magazine Association, the world’s best regional publishing association!
