I've browsed all of the popular writing magazines, and ended up choosing The Writer to be my monthly subscription. The magazine itself is great -- lots of step by steps, motivational techniques (we all need those when we get writer's block!), strategies for publication, how to be organized, list of publishers looking for submissions, interviews with professional writers. A couple of my favorite articles in the last year included netbook versus notebook, best free computer software programs for writers. I like how The Writer really covers every aspect of life as a writer, and keeps up with the times. I checked out some of the computer programs recommended and found them integral to my creative process.
It's nice to browse every month to remind myself to keep going. Also, your subscription comes with free access to The Writer website and archives -- nice to browse through if you ever are looking for help on a specific topic. The main reason I like this magazine so much is, it's a very accessible read. Lots of writers manuals are tedious to go through, but this is a good one for those of us who are hobbyists or just starting to get serious. I'm sure even more advanced writers/professionals can glean a few new ideas and techniques from these pages! Get more detail about The Writer.
