U.K. Magazine Planned for iCarly

LONDON: Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) in the U.K. is working with Egmont UK on a one-time magazine, geared at girls 6 and up, based on the hit live-action series iCarly.

The magazine from Egmont is due to hit shelves in July. The company has already partnered with NVCP UK to develop a magazine line for Dora the Explorer and a range of annuals featuring several Nick properties. "We’re delighted to build upon our strong relationship with Egmont Magazines with iCarly," said John Vasta, the director of consumer products at NVCP UK. "Our existing iCarly publishing ranges have been extremely successful, so we are confident that together with Egmont we can build a long-term magazine partnership for this property.”

Debbie Cook, director of magazines at Egmont UK, added: "iCarly is packed with creative ideas that can be converted into exciting magazine content. This special issue is a fantastic addition to our successful ‘All About’ range and our partnership with NVCP UK.”

iCarly‘s other publishing licensees in the U.K. include Simon and Schuster (story books), Alligator Books (sticker and activity books) and Pedigree Books (annuals).
