Good Mag for Budding Writers and Authors Reviewed Sonntag, 3. März 2019

Good Mag for Budding Writers and Authors lots of ideas for writing books, essays and articles and how to make money as a new author.

Essential for writers Reviewed Donnerstag, 2. Januar 2014

I have been a subscriber of this magazine for years. Each issue is full of useful writing tips, competitions, stories and interviews with published authors. As a writer myself it's great to hear stories from other struggling writers, especially when you hear of their success. I also find it very useful for gathering information on potential markets where I can send my manuscripts and short stories. Simply the best writing magazine on the market.
