... to drop 'subtle' hints about what we'd like for Christmas. How about a womag subscription? They're non fattening, help with market research, support the publications we'd like to write for - and provide great fiction to read.Here are a few links, just to make it really easy for your loved ones.
Fiction Feast Woman's Weekly
Woman's Weekly Fiction Special
My Weekly Ireland's Own The People's Friend
The Weekly News Yours
Of course books make great gifts too. ;-)

I have recently bought a subscription to TWN as I can't find it anywhere locally where I live. I do want to write for them, and have a couple of stories already out there with them, and more in the pipeline to either edit or write.
That's a good idea.
Thanks for gathering so many links together, Patsy. I wish I could afford them all, and yet just one sale to each would more than pay its way. Hmmmh, must think this through.
@ Julie - There don't seem to be many places which stock it and when they do it sells out quickly (you'd think they'd get more copies, wouldn't you?) Good luck with the subs.
@ Suzy - all my ideas are good - except for the rubbsh ones.
@ Beatrice - They're tax deductible, if that helps at all.
Thanks Patsy - great idea - shall glue list unobtrusively to forehead or a while...
Good idea, Patsy. Especially if you're a writer who has difficulty getting a copy of your favourite magazine.
Received my first sub copy of TWN today. Looking forward to reading it, esp the short stories. Linda Lewis has one of the stories in it this week.
Does anyone take a subscription to any of these magazines electronically? If so what's the verdict, easy to navigate? Readability on a tablet? Are they the full version?
I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.
Hi Patsy, Hope you're well.I’ve had word back from Katharine Wootton Deputy News Editor of Yours magazine about writers contracts and she says, ‘within Bauer there are a few different policies so always best to check directly with the magazine you’re wanting to submit to. But the limited licence does apply to both Yours and Yours Fiction.’
I also told her that when I goggled Yours and Yours Fiction Special submissions that I could only find sites offering Full Rights and she says, ‘thanks for making me aware of those I wasn’t aware they existed so I’ll make sure they are amended.’
When I asked about limited licence agreement she said, ‘this basically means we have permission to use the work as we see fit within Bauer (our overarching media company) and can make reasonable changes to the work. However, unlike an all rights agreement we do not own copyright to the work meaning you would be free to offer the work to other publications in the future.’
Take care of yourself,
Al Watt.
