Comments
So,if I don't read the profiles (never having heard of the authors, why would I be interested) don't like the Helpline, don't need poetry, screenwriting, children's, SF, how tos, it leaves the short story winners and the readers letters, the Members news in WN and that's about it! As I said, 15 - 30 minutes tops. It has got boring, too many profiles as if that is all we need, other people's success stories in fields we are not likely to go into.
You could spend a happy ten minutes playing 'spot the typos'.
As a newbie I'm finding them really useful, but quite obviously from the comments here they need to cater for everybody or they won't stay the course.
As a family historian I still occasionally buy the 'Beginners' genealogy magazines in case something comes out or up that I wasn't aware of. But then, new records are coming online at a fabulous speed so it's different. I guess with writing, once you're established then you probably don't want anyone telling you 'how to'.
So, what WOULD you like to see in the mags?
Also I'd like more on writing for children, again WF does this well.
WF did have the advantage of being able to do a full scale change all at once. They do seem to take articles from those who have a reasonable level of expertise in their subject area, but might not be expert enough for WM- at least that seems to have been the case previously.
its not fair wilts, i haven't got april or mays edition (my mum took pity on me and posted a march copy, but i've re-read that about as often as i want to now!)
:)
A pity to see that WN have stopped publishing the shortlists for the comps - only the winners and runners up are given. A shame, as it is such a boost to see your name there and ecnouraging for the future.
Didn't see anyone I recognised in WM.
But I do like the letters page being nearer the front.
Well done Dorothy.
Where's the hug thread?
*Goes to look for it*
But why so few letters in WN?
