Yesterday I went into WH Smiths and spent £12 on magazines. It doesn't seem a lot when you think it is aiding you in you writing but since I started my writing course I have realised that I have spent a fortune on buying magazines-trying to find potential markets to write for!
Is everyone else in the same boat here? Or does anyone have and ideas where I can get back issues of magazines for a fraction of the price?
There should be somewhere we should be able to trade our used magazines in for others! As long as they are relatively recent if course. I would even be willing to pay p&p if someone would send me unwanted issues!
I suppose everyone has this kind of trouble...don't they?
Kelly I know it is difficult. I have been in the same boat when I was doing the non-fiction part of my course. I know it isn't any consolation. I managed to get round it to a certain extent because I did things like brownies when I was little and one of my friends is in the guiding movement so I was able to borrow some of their magazines to get a look at it.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I usually look on Ebay for back issues of magazines. It's also a great place to find subscriber only ones. I find magazines on there that I never knew existed and it gives me some good inspiration and new markets to try.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
Thank you both for the advice.
