Publisher, Debbie Gaylord

A Passion for Publishing

 With over two decades of experience in marketing and design, I've become a hyperlocal marketing expert in the community I love!

I've owned and operated three magazines over the past two decades, including St. Johns Magazine for twelve years.  In my role as Publisher, I have worked with hundreds of local northeast Florida businesses to help them market their brand effectively to our community. Many of our advertisers have been in the magazine for over a decade and I am honored to have built these lasting relationships by delivering a high level of customer service and satisfaction.

I have a passion for working with local entrepreneurs to craft compelling messages and visually dynamic designs that get them noticed and, most importantly, build meaningful connections with their audience. 

I have lived in St. Johns for 13 years now and every day I am so thankful for this community, its natural beauty and the people who make it so special.

If you want to work with someone who has personal and long term understanding of the demographics of Northern St. Johns and expertise in targeted marketing and design I am your person!

​A Passion for Family, Travel & the Beach


I am the proud mom of triplets (two girls and a boy) plus one. All of my children are adults now and thriving, so she is officially an "empty-nester"! "As a mom, I wanted a career that allowed me to be present for my children while also pursuing my passions. With a background in journalism and teaching, launching my first magazine, The Capital District Kid’s Directory, was the perfect way to blend creativity with flexibility."
St. Johns Magazine is a vibrant, full-color publication designed to
​spotlight our community, connect neighbors and help local businesses succeed.
