How to reach 30,000 women writers

Mslexia was established in 1999 with National Lottery and Arts Council funding and was granted charitable status in 2019.

Through its publications, social media platforms, and other activities, Mslexia is in direct and regular contact with over 30,000 women writers.

You can reach them too, by advertising in our quarterly magazine or in our monthly newsletter.

Mslexia readers are highly educated women of all ages who regularly submit their writing for publication, enter competitions, attend literary events, visit writing retreats and sign up for creative writing courses. Quintessential ‘heavy book buyers’, their interests also include: theatre, music and visual art; nature and the environment; travel, history and heritage; crafts, cooking and dining out.

We have been advertising in Mslexia since 2014 and the service we receive is second-to-none. We have been able to introduce our postgraduate courses, short courses and annual writing competition to a highly targeted market and have benefitted hugely from the results.

Advertising with Mslexia is a rare delight. Easy, flexible – can I say “forgiving”? – and, with exactly the right audience for us, effective, too.

A huge basket full of ‘thank you’s for all the Mslexia Max events − the best thing that ever happened to me as a writer. Not only did my novel pitch profit a lot from the thoughtful feedback you gave me during the ‘pitch surgeries,’ but one of the Max events changed my writers’ life.

Sophie van Llewyn, author of Bottled Goods

Mslexia was a tangible support to me in the anguished years of writing my first novel and continues to be a source of bristling writerly energy.

Diana Evans

The sort of friend you never outgrow - a source of tips, tricks and deeper inspiration.

Hilary Mantel

The place for poets to see and be seen.

Carol Ann Duffy

I remember when I was writing my first novel - what a lifeline Mslexia was.

Naomi Alderman

There is no other writing magazine on the market that comes anywhere close to the quality of Mslexia. I began my subscription when I was a new writer; I'm a professional now and the magazine continues to cater for my needs as much as ever - as my writing buddy, mentor and literary news feed.
