Writing is as much of a tradition as it is an art form, and like most traditions, tricks of the trade are passed down from practitioner to apprentices. This book, informed by Flanagan’s 20 years of experience as a writer, introduces readers to the publishing industry.
As the title implies, this work is specifically geared towards writing magazine articles. Flanagan describes how to organize one’s self towards the production of copy for magazines. This book provides a high-level overview of the entire process – from coming up with an idea to studying a topic, from signing legal contracts to setting long-term goals. References are provided for more in-depth exploration of a particular topic.
Flanagan provides examples from her own writing and from others’ writing to illustrate her points and to keep the book light and interesting. The intended audience of this book consists of aspiring writers and writers who have already gained some experience but are desiring more. I recommend it as a helpful resource for those seeking to learn about writing outside of the traditional school environment.
