The new Writing Magazine is on sale today!
The October issue comes with the 2019 Competition Special featuring over 220 writing competitions to enter
Inside the issue, you can read no-nonsense writing advice from Fay Weldon, and learn how to get ahead of the game and improve your prize-winning chances. We take a hard look at the right time for freelance writers to cull their clients, and in the packed pages of Writers' News, we keep you up to date with the latest writing opportunities.
Our cover star is the great literary novelist Sebastian Faulks, talking about his new book Paris Echo and the relationship between history and the present in his writing.
The October issue is in shops now, or you can get it here in print and digital editions.
Happy reading, and happy writing!
