FR from Twickenham said of "Writing for the Magazine Market" at Abingworth in Sussex "This was an absolutely splendid course led by two personal, talented, friendly and enthusiastic people."

If you're interested in finding out more about writing for the magazine market, why not consider coming on one of the courses that I help to run? As part of Write Associates I help to run 3 and 4 night courses on behalf of HF Holidays, who have an extensive range of beautiful hotels across the UK.

Writing For The Magazine Market

There are thousands of magazines out there and they all need words to fill them. Whether it's a few dozen words for their Letters page, or a thousand or more for an article or short story, it's possible to break into the magazine market, get published and get paid. We show you the tips and tricks on how to study a magazine and establish where the best chances of publication are, and what to submit. We'll then show you how to approach your work, write it and present it professionally to enable you to compete with other writers.

Who is it for? Anyone interested in writing for magazines but don't know where to start, and those who have started out and want to improve their skills.
