Can’t open. Awesome—not! ### 5/5 — Review *2020-07-09* I enjoy this magazine, especially the fiction squares. There are articles and tips for aspiring writers. I have started a short story using the fiction square. ### 4/5 — Recommend this mag *2016-04-02* Great articles on poetry and all aspects on writing. ### 5/5 — Best Writing Magazine *2016-03-09* Writers' Forum is by far the best quality magazine out there for serious writers. You won't find fluff in this superior magazine. It excels with in-depth articles on the craft of writing, addressing topics you won't find elsewhere. Each issue is jam-packed with valuable information you need as a writer. I subscribe to all the writing magazines in the U.S., but none compare to the excellence of the Writers' Forum published in the U.K. The British thoroughly know and understand writing. Although pricey, it's worth every penny. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Excellent App And Digital Magazine:) *2014-09-09* Very happy with app and magazine 5 stars will subscribe again:) ### 5/5 — bickles *2013-08-23* Just joined finding it very useful. ### 5/5 — Ideas aplenty *2013-07-28* A fascinating and useful read with varied content. Inspiring ideas to keep all kinds of writers motivated. Particularly like it in iPad format as an overseas buyer. ### 5/5 — Enjoy writers forum *2012-04-29* I love reading this online a real treat, I would like to see all the back copies on the shelf so I can refer back to previous ones I' ve purchased, but I am very happy with this product. ### 1/5 — Not great *2011-07-07* This app worked fine for me, but the content isn't good enough to warrant buying further issues. Bit disappointed. ### 5/5 — First rate - delighted *2011-06-12* The negative comments on here are without foundation,in my opinion, from folk with an axe to grind, or maybe they expect it to be free? This is a great App and brilliant magazine! I am thoroughly enjoying it! Highly recommended! ## Frequently asked questions about Writers' Forum Magazine ### What kind of writing does Writers' Forum Magazine cover?
