New Senior Citizen writer.September 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As as Senior Citizen I am taking a Class on Creative Writing, I thought the Magazine "Writer" would help me get an insite into the world of Writing as well as some hints on writing.
I was not disappointed, I have learned from my first issue, now I am looking forward to the next issue.
It's OK, but not as technical as I'd likeSeptember 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I subscribed to this thinking I'd take a break from Writer's Journal for awhile. Unfortunately, after my first Writer arrived, I found myself going back to re-subscribe to Writer's Journal as well. The Writer had a very nice, long, in-depth interview, but didn't have the technique articles Writer's Journal has. While the Writer had some contest notifications, etc, I felt Writer's Journal had more.
At this review I've only received one Writer, and it is unfair to base the entire magazine off one issue, so I am keeping my subscription for at least the next year.
There were a few things I really liked about the subscription:
1) it came right away--I didn't have to wait for 6 weeks, I think it started coming within the first month after I ordered.
2) It was a large magazine, not one with only 10 pages in it (as I have found when I've ordered magazines via the n et without holding a bound paper copy first).
3) It didn't seem to have the number of advertisements that Writer's Journal is full of.
For your favorite writerSeptember 15, 2008 I gave a subscription to "Writer" as a gift. It arrived sooner than the site said. And the recipient has reported to me that they are enjoying the magazine.
Just What I'm Looking ForSeptember 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a soon-to-be university graduate with a minor in professional writing. This magazine not only has valuable advice for newcomers into the field of writing, but plenty of contest opportunities and publishing contacts to help us get our foot in the door. I appreciate the encouragement and advise. The Writer is a good investment in the future.

Have only received one issue but I'm impressed with what I've seen. I think this was a wise purchase.
