As always, the new issue of The Writer is filled with valuable writing tips for readers. This issue also marks the 127th anniversary of the magazine. “April is special to us here at the offices of The Writer,” Editor-in-Chief Alicia Anstead says. “It was in April 1887 that two Boston Globe reporters founded our magazine to support the work of writers everywhere. It remains one of the longest continuously published craft magazines in the U.S.” Source: PRWEB
