The magazine
reviews start with Writers’ Forum, of which we said:
'The tone throughout is friendly and inclusive. It’s pretty middlebrow, in that it primarily addresses writers who are
writing in the commercial area, but it doesn’t dumb down either and has
something of the tone of voice of a well-informed friend.'

The second in our series is the big American magazine, Writer's
Digest. This has a huge market in the US and runs its own book
club and publishing programme. We concluded that it was a 'must-read'
for American writers, but its focus is pretty much on the American market,
so it's probably less useful for writers from other countries unless they
want to find out about the US.

Our third review deals with the British magazine Writers' News,
which comes in a good-value package with its stable-mate Writing
Magazine. Our reviewer's view was that 'taken together, the two
magazines do a good job of keeping the writer up-to-date and helping you to
improve your writing across a wide field.'

Our fourth review looks at the British magazine Mslexia, 'for women who
write'. Our reviewer concluded that: 'for women writers who take
their writing quite seriously and are aiming at the more literary end of the
spectrum but who want good practical advice, offered in an accessible and
friendly way, Mslexia is perfect.'

Our fifth review deals with the British magazine ScriptWriter. Our
reviewer concluded that: 'if you’re serious about writing scripts and want a
thoughtful magazine which will help you achieve your goal - whilst providing
food for thought and some wide-ranging and interesting articles -
this magazine could be the one for you.'

Our sixth review covers The
Self-Publishing Magazine, which is a bit different from the other
writers’ magazines we have reviewed in that it is designed for a clear group
of writers – those who are intending to self-publish their own work.
