When I saw The Writer's Digest Guide to Magazine Article Writing on NetGalley, I decided to request it because I was considering article writing as a new income stream. After reading, I don't see myself going that way; however, the book was still useful as it gave me a few thoughts and tips for improving my blog posts, particular in crafting posts relating to my fiction writing, to draw attention to my stories in a way that isn't just about plugging the blurb etc. With great examples and a nicely laid out, easy-reading format, The Writer's Digest Guide to Magazine Article Writing is a valuable resource for anyone interested in breaking into that kind of employment.

A great compilation of info and advice on how to get published in magazines. Highly recommended, especially for beginning writers or those trying to break in for the first time.

I've been searching for a resource like this, and it's just what I needed! Flanagan is incredibly thorough and honest. She covers every aspect of magazine writing, from first wanting to do it, through publication and payment. There were things I'd never considered. Now I feel less intimidated by the idea of freelancing and more prepared for what will be involved. There is a ton of information here, so the straight forward style and examples were helpful. I also appreciate that she includes online publications as well as print and addresses the state of magazines/media in today's age of technology.
