8 reasons to subscribe
1. Join our writing community Become part of a vibrant community of women writers at all stages of their careers. You can then join the Mslexia Salon, home of our online writing workshops, surgeries and Q&As, and meeting rooms where you can share your writing, wit and wisdom with other women writers.
2. Get published There are over 17 paid submission spots – including poetry, fiction, journalism and memoir – but our most popular slots are reserved for subscribers only. This is your route to publication with a payday.
3. Access expert voices Our list of contributors reads like a Who’s Who of women’s literature. Authors and creative writing lecturers, literary agents and editors – all at the very top of their professions – share their advice and expertise.
4. Be your own writing coach Can creativity be taught? Why do women hesitate to submit their work? Twenty-five years of experience and research tells us that lack of time and lack of confidence are major issues for many women writers. Mslexia looks at ways of outwitting the practical and psychological gremlins that undermine your muse.
'I've just finished reading my first copy of Mslexia and felt good. I wondered why. I think it's because the magazine really wants its readers to succeed. It doesn't patronise but offers accessible opportunities' Linda Fawke
5. Stay up to date with the industry The best new voices in fiction, poetry and nonfiction appear in Mslexia. Immerse yourself in the kinds of work editors and agents are looking for – and let your own writing develop by osmosis.
6. Be the first to know We launch every competition we run in the magazine, as well as our annual Diary and Planner or the next dates of our Women’s Writing Weeks. Whatever project we’re working on, you’ll find out first.
