Writing Letters

Options
#apologies if this is a duplicate, I did look#

Many magazines will pay for letters that they publish.

They want letters from their readers, not professionals.

Payments might be in cash (£20 to £100s depending on magazine)
Payments can be goods (Radio Times give a fab radio for each week's Star Letter)

Everyone has little anecdotes they could write up.

I've run workshops on this subject, and I still get people reporting their successes. You can do it! :D

    Hi All,

    look at the letters page in any magazine you read and work out what they want from a letter. Sorry if this sounds vague, but ir varies from one mag to another.
