I've ben asked to post the following, and as I was sure some of my blog readers would be interested, I was happy to agree.
A new women’s weekly, SevenDays, is launching next month. The magazine is aimed at mid-market readers aged 45+ and includes puzzle content, fiction, craft projects and heath & wellbeing features. We are currently looking for fiction contributors. Short stories of 500 – 1200 words, not previously published, first rights only, author retains all other rights. We are offering £75 per story and welcome uplifting, quirky, humorous, nature-inspired and thought-provoking reads. Family, friendship and nature are significant themes. Romance, historical, comedy, mystery and thrillers are all invited genres. Serials will be accepted at the same rate. To submit work for consideration, please email s.kielty@keesing.co.uk.
Was I right? Are you interested in new markets?

Then just had a reality check and thought I'd try and find out the publisher... can't find any answers online. Does anyone know?
I'm guessing they're a company branching out into wider markets than puzzle books see this link - https://www.keesing.com.
Let's hope they do well. All good wishes Kate Hogan
