Magazines
These are regular publications that not only help you with your short story/novel/poetry writing but also show where the markets are.
This is an ever expanding list and will soon be increased to show the specialist magazines that take short stories and publish them as collections.
Writing Magazine - Warners Group Publications
I like this magazine as I feel it does have a lot of content, saying that, I do find it a little 'impersonal'. I think that Writer's Forum (below) does bring you more to their bosom. Writing Magazine runs monthly themed short story and poetry competitions. - will accept short stories. Contact for guidelines. Website
Writers Forum - Select Publisher Services
A great magazine, packed with real authors - both unpublished and published - anecdotes and interviews. Although their website looks a little home grown, their magazine has a definite homely feel. Personally, I felt they were on my side. Website
The Lady - Published every Tuesday £1.20
In continuous publication since 1885 and widely respected as England's oldest weekly magazine for women, The Lady is celebrated both for the quality of its editorial pages and its classified advertisements. The Lady welcomes freelance contributions. See the magazines for guidelines. Website
