Writer's Digest

Writer's Digest

(first issue, December 1920; it changed name to "Writer's Digest" with the March 1921 issue).

Writer's Digest is owned by F+W Publications, which also publishes the annual edition of Writer's Market, a guide similar in size to a telephone directory containing a comprehensive list of all paying markets — magazines, publishing houses, and contests — as well as an index and many tips for the beginning writer on how to compose query letters and proper manuscript format. The magazine is published bi-monthly by Editor Maria Schneider, Managing Editor Zachary Petit, Online Managing Editor Brian A. Klems and Art Director Kathleen DeZarn.

"Writer's Digest" also sponsors several in-house contests annually. Of particular interest are the "Writer's Digest" International Self-Published Book Awards and their Annual Writing Competition for short stories. Both are contests with fees and significant cash prizes for the Grand Prize Winner and Runners-Up. Certificates of participation and personal letters from the contest judges are given to all entrants in the Self-Published Book competition.
