Bi-monthly and quarterly publishing take 13 weeks. Orders for magazines printed outside of the United Kingdom may take an extra 2-3 weeks. Women's Own magazine goes to press on Tuesdays and Fridays with a target release date of the following Wednesday or Thursday. Women's Own is published six times per year. The first issue of each season is called "Spring" and it is usually released in March or April. The next issue ("Summer") comes out in June or July, and so on. The last issue of the year is called "Winter" and it is often released in November or December. Each issue contains several pages of content. There are often articles about beauty, food, fashion, careers, relationships, and parenting. Sometimes there are comics or quizzes. Every issue of Women's Own magazine also has a page of tips for getting ahead at work or school or home. These tips are called "Tips for success." The magazine was founded in 1986 by Tony Elliott. He was joined three years later by Sarah Stanners, who managed advertising sales and became co-editor in 1990. In 1993, they were joined by Rebekah Wade, who took over as editor and began a tradition of bringing in famous writers to contribute articles.
