Writers Forum - February 2015

The Writers' Forum magazine takes pride in helping thousands of new and would-be writers to achieve their dreams. It's packed with up-to-date market information, guidance from experts in the publishing industry as well as inspiring stories and advice from established well known authors and writers. It will also regularly contain interactive features which allow readers to participate in workshops for fiction, poetry, children's books and self-publishing.

Writers' Forum is a must read if you want to get ahead in the world of writing. With features on how to find an agent on-line as well as how to sell more books in stores, readers will get all the low down on how to push forward with their writing career in the best way possible. There will also be interesting features on how to promote yourself by using the materials at your disposal such as Facebook and Twitter.

There are also exciting competitions which could change the lives of lucky readers looking for more help, previous prizes have included hundreds of pounds worth of writing aids and materials which would be very tricky to find elsewhere. There is also a rather sweet question and answer section called ‘Dear Della’; here writers can ask important questions on issues such as plagiarism, legal rights and complicated contracts with publishers. These sections would be invaluable to any writers who are new to the business.

What we enjoyed most about the magazine were the features on how to get inspiration. Often it seems that ideas just come to people in the most unlikely of places, JK Rowling apparently got the idea of Harry Potter while travelling on a train with no pen or paper. It is fascinating to hear the stories of how other writers got hit with their inspiration for their leading stories. Budding writers will get inspired and encouraged from this up-beat and supportive magazine.
