New Writers' Magazine Survey
Please find below a survey to research the need and niche for a new and exciting magazine about and for contemporary writers of all literature, established or starting out, who consider themselves to be breaking the mould in their field. Please take a few moments to complete it.
Please cut and paste the questionnaire into an e-mail and return it completed to:

The findings will help us with the make-up of the magazine before it’s launch. Thank you very much for your time.
