Writing Magazine | December 2023
Unleash your writing and see it take off with the new issue of Writing Magazine! In December’s edition we encourage you to explore what you can do with your words, with creative writing advice, exercises and inspiration all aimed at giving you the tools to write better and consider new avenues to explore in your work.
One issue of perennial fascination to writers is the unreliable narrator, so this month, we’ve taken a deep dive into that topic in the esteemed company of Chips Hardy, the co-creator of TV series Taboo, one of the most original and thought-provoking examples of an untrustworthy protagonist in recent years. In this issue you’ll also find advice on writing lost voices from history, weaving folklore into your fiction, making your short stories shine and giving the scary children trope in horror your own twist.
In the packed December issue you’ll also find brilliant writing and success stories from WM subscribers, writing masterclasses, the latest competitions and publishing opportunities – in fact, everything you need to get you filling blank pages with wonderful words of your own!
