This handbook is indispensable for all writers of articles and short stories. This new, ninth edition from the UK provides detailed information about 70-plus mainstream magazines, and on a selection of independent magazines. The mainstream magazines covered are those most relevant to non-specialist freelance writers and all welcome targeted contributions from freelances. The handbook provides writers with crucial information for success: who uses what, editor's preferred method of a approach and likely response time, target readership and general editorial policy, typical feature subjects, type and length of work used, intake of 'writer-initiated' features, opportunities for paid letters and fillers, likely payment rates.
