Summary: Excellent Resource!
Comment: Writer's Digest publishes hands-on, practical articles for writers. Their interviews contain smart tidbits that I can apply quickly, and they don't write down to readers. I like the brevity of their articles too -- busy writers can read an article in five minutes or less. That's my style.

Summary: Filled with information for writers.
Comment: I truly enjoy reading Writers's Digest. It gives me tons of helpful advice about writing, publshing and marketing. I enjoy the writing contests and reading the articles from famous authors. A subcription makes a great gift for the writers in your life.

Summary: Was wonderful... once.
Comment: I subscribed to this magazine first in high school, and I adored it. I mean, adored. I looked forward to nothing like its arrival. I even won one of their monthly contests, once.
That was then, this is now. They dropped it to bimonthly with no fanfare that I ever saw, and the price is still identical. But the big thing is that Writer's Digest is now one big shill for the "self-publishing" industry, with the better part of the ads for shady operations happy to take several thousand dollars of your money to put your name on the cover. And the magazine itself has shifted accordingly. Articles continually laud self-publishing as a wonderful option and talk about it like it's a writer's dream... never mind that many of the publishers they take money from have never had a commercially successful author and never will.
The joys of the past are gone. The monthly contests now have no prizes, that I've been able to see. The neat little articles on intellectual property accompanied by ads admonishing us that Xerox and Rollerblade are proper nouns are gone. The interviews are now insipid and most of the articles read like they were hacked together in an afternoon with information that could be easily found online.
Skip Writer's Digest. Go find your RSS reader of choice, subscribe to some good blogs--Writer Beware, A Newbie's Guide to Publishing, some of the agent blogs. You'll get far better information with far fewer ads, and for free.

Summary: As an Author, this magazine and the annual Writer's Market...
Comment: As a an author, this magazine and the annual Writer's Market books are a must for any writer or aspiring author. I've purchased this book along with the Photographer's Market to help move my career forward over the years. While it takes a combination of materials and effort to succeed in any craft, this is a must for that list.
If you'd like to see how it's affected my career, also check out the following books, Garage Glamour: Digital Nude and Beauty Photography Made Simple, Rolando Gomez's Glamour Photography: Professional Techniques and Images and even a book where I have a chapter, Professional Portrait Lighting: Techniques and Images from Master Photographers (Photo Pro Workshop series) Every writer and author should subscribe to this magazine and similar products--I'm proof that it works! ---Rolando Gomez, contributing writer, Studio Photography magazine

Summary: Fantastic Gift idea ~
Comment: Simply put, I renewed my subscription for Writer's Digest for my daughter, after asking her if "it was worth it". A resounding YES,Mom! (She is an adult daughter, by the way,looking into a new avenue for her career!) She gave the articles a positive, saying "there is always something in each magazine that helps me toward my goal!"
