Meet Our Founder
Joseph Tito is an author and storyteller who captures parenthood's raw, hilarious truth. His unfiltered journey from world traveler to parent built this community-centered magazine.
The Mission
Our mission is to share real, sticky stories—no filters allowed. We create a digital campfire where everyone feels seen and knows they're not alone in gloriously winging it through life.
Our Magazine Story
Between the Covers is a digital magazine for those living beautifully complicated, holy-shit-what-now lives. We offer a real, unfiltered space centering the powerful voices of women and the LGBTQ2+ community.
Real Talk
We tackle it all: burnout, parenthood, identity, rage, and joy. There's no pretending or sugarcoating here. We are dedicated to spotlighting raw, unapologetic storytelling that centers on the experiences of women, LGBTQ2+ folks, and anyone who has ever discovered their strength while completely knee-deep in the beautiful mess of life. This is a platform for truths that are often left unspoken.
Unfiltered Stories
Each issue delivers a potent blend of gut-punch honesty, wit, and heart. Inside, you'll find a curated chaos of essays, interviews, and columns that explore identity, resilience, mental health, and relationships. It's a collection of stories that aren't afraid to get real, offering both solace and solidarity through shared, unfiltered experiences and the occasional necessary hormonal rant.
This Isn't Perfection. It's Permission.
This is your permission to be real, to be seen, and to feel powerful—especially when everything feels like it's falling apart. If you're exhausted by filters, fake inspiration, and being told to "just enjoy the moment" while juggling five million things, you are not alone. You have finally found your people and your place to exhale authentically.
Between the Covers, where women who know better come to feel seen, heard, and powerfully understood.
