About Us

From a Times Square building in late 1999, Foxy Kidd and Romy Ashby started making Goodie Magazine to celebrate authenticity and originality in whatever manifestation those qualities appear. It remains a small, handmade publication dedicated to preserving an endangered history through the stories of its subjects, and it is produced entirely on money it earns for itself. With the help of generous donations from readers, Panther Books began in 2001. A natural accompaniment to the magazine, Panther was initially created to publish works by Goodie Magazine subjects.
