Major changes at Girlfriend and Total Girl

The merging of editorial teams across Girlfriend and Total Girl magazines last June saw the two editors remain at the helm of their respective titles, but that's all about to change. Pacific Magazines is now on the hunt for one editor to look after the combined editorial teams for both magazines.

The move sees Girlfriend editor Sarah Tarca resign from her role, leaving at Christmas, while Total Girl editor Amanda Nicholls has been made redundant.

“The magazines have been working closely together for the past 18 months (and have been sitting together during this time) – with the combined editor role an extension of this decision,” a Pacific Magazines spokesperson told Mumbrella.

Tarca has been the editor of Girlfriend since August 2011, while Nicholls stepped into the top role at Total Girl in March 2008. Nicholls has taken on the new role of commercial editor at Babyology, effective at the end of the month.
