 An Excellent Resource For Writers May 16, 2006
60 out of 60 found this review helpful
"The Writer" is the premier magazine for writers of all varieties. Kalmbach is known for publishing a great series of specialty periodicals, and this one is extremely well written and edited, as is appropriate for the subject matter.
The magazine is best for aspiring writers of fiction, with the clear majority of column inches. Poetry is also covered well, and nonfiction (my area of interest), while covered, is definitely in third place. In the end, though, most techniques for fiction also help nonfiction authors and vice-versa: I read every issue cover to cover regardless of area of concentration because I have gleaned some of the best tips from articles that superficially seemed not to pertain to my writing.
The magazine is very good at covering new developments in the publishing world, and features in-depth reporting on subjects like "Print on Demand" (POD) publishing. Many articles concentrate on in-depth technique implementation, while the utilitarian short pieces that cut through grammatical tedium and stylistic methodologies reinforce the basics.
If you are interested in writing as a professional or just for personal satisfaction, "The Writer" is the magazine for you.
The Best Magazine for Writers June 13, 2003

I've been a freelance writer since 1996, and every month I look forward to reading the next issue of The Writer. It's a magazine that shows you how to write better, how to get published, and how to stay inspired. The interviews with top writers are great, and I love the reviews of books about writing. The hour or so I spend reading each issue is among the best time I ever spend. If you're a writer, you should subscribe immediately.

The Writer is the best of the four magazines on writing I have read over the past couple years. The quality of articles, the focus on the writing craft is superior to others that are available in the market. I look forward to each issue arriving in my mailbox.

The Writer is one of my favorite mags, and I look forward to seeing it in my mailbox. It's packed with "how to" articles on fiction writing and poetry. There are also interviews, book reviews, and stuff on literary journals.
There are a lot of writing magazines out there, I've subscribed to all of them, but this one is the best. You won't be disappointed.

Writer's Tools July 16, 2008

Great magazine for a writer's tool box. There is motivation, advice, and marketing listings for a variety of writers in each magazine. I have recommended this to fellow writers and shared articles with friends encouraging them to write down thier stories or expand thier talents to print for profit. This has been educational for my young son as I share articles of interest to this history buff and science fiction writing elementary school child.
