It’s super simple! Visit www.kidsmag.co.za to purchase a subscription on our online shop. Alternatively, you can send us an email at sales@bkpublishing.co.za or call us at 012 342 5347.

What age group is the magazine for?

Supernova magazine is designed for kids between the ages of 8 and 15. The levels of information, activities, jokes, and featured content will find a reader across the age range. Kids that are still learning to read might prefer the Highlights™ magazines, international editions of a magazine produced in the US, that we distribute here in South Africa.

Some independent shops sell Supernova. However, all our volumes (past and present) are available at our online shop. If you would like to sell Supernovas, please contact us at sales@bkpublishing.co.za.

Can I as a teacher/homeschooling parent use Supernova in my classroom?

Absolutely. We’ve designed Supernova to be attractive to kids and to be educational, so we love it if teachers or parents use it as an educational resource.

My child wants to submit something to Supernova. How do I do that?

We are always excited to receive poems, pictures, photos, etc. from readers! Please send it through to mail@bkpublishing.co.za.

I don’t trust the post office. What should I do?

We also offer courier services. For the best value, you can purchase volume bundles which we will courier directly to you.
