Latest Issue:

In this month’s edition of Writing Magazine, with Halloween on the horizon we’ve fully embraced the strange, inviting writers to explore creating their own ghost and write spooky stories for children, fantasy academia and cosy fantasy. We look at creating dual timelines in supernatural fiction, and discuss modern Gothic with internationally bestselling speculative fantasy author Olivie Blake.

You can also read about the difference between writing screenplays and novels, female agency in crime fiction, walking and finding your flow and how to develop the writer’s instinct that transcends reliance on technique.

Don’t miss all of this, plus the latest opportunities to get your writing in print and win fantastic prizes, and updates on Writers’ Online’s exciting programme of events for writers.
