New Web Site Makes Writing for Magazines Easier

June 16, 2006 — Freelance article writers will make more money easier with the help of the Wooden Horse Publishing site, which offers news and resources not found anywhere else. Subscribers are continually updated about magazines that have ceased publication, those that have just started up and those that recently hired a new editor.

“Writers need reliable news, up-to-date contact information and the latest marketing tools,” owner and longtime writer Meg Weaver said. “Today’s magazine industry is complex and constantly changing. But writers want to concentrate on writing and that doesn’t leave much time for marketing their work. That’s where we can help.”

The site provides continually updated industry news, articles and books about making money from writing, a free newsletter with numerous new paying markets every week, a searchable database of more than 2,000 US and Canadian consumer and trade magazines with full contact information, writers guidelines, and — unique among writers sites — reader demographics and editorial calendars.

Anybody who writes for magazines needs to keep up with new markets and now the Wooden Horse Web site makes it less impossible. Recent updates in the magazines database include:

Chicken Soup for the Soul — Inspirational stories for women.
Forbeslife — The best for the affluent.
Internet Genealogy — About family research online.
Women’s Health — Fitness for women.
Life — It’s now a weekly newspaper insert.
Looking Good Now — For families losing weight.
Un Chin — Latino arts and fashion.
For Me — Home, fashion, food for 20-something women.
Everyday Food — Martha’s newest magazine.
Wondertime — Parenting education from Disney.
