I have been eagerly awaiting my
2013 Artists and Writers' Yearbook so that I could research magazines I'd like
to pitch now I have the strength of a published book behind me. I have already written several articles for
Vegetarian Living but was surprised to see they are not mentioned in the
yearbook.
Soon after that I was surprised to
see that Cook Vegetarian was not in there.
My third surprise came when I decided to try Great British Food - not
there! These are surely 3 of the leading
UK foodie mags
(after Delicious, of course, and some of the Beeb's magazines). Eat In? - no.
Easy Food - no. Good to Know Recipes? - um, no.
That's about it for food magazines,
I haven't fully researched other subject matters but I would have thought the
above magazines would all have been bigger sellers than, say, Picture Postcard
Monthly or Music Teacher. Not that I in
any way mean to disparage these two magazine, rather I wish to parage the food
magazine mentioned above, if paraging is something one can do.
I'm still glad to get the Yearbook
and there's lots of useful info in it (I found my lovely agent Jen Christie of
Graham Mae Christie through an earlier edition) but does anyone know how they
select which publications to include?
Thank you,
Suzy Bowler
