Writing

MWSA received a request for magazine contributors:

We are a new national magazine geared toward ages 45+ offering the opportunity for writers to be published. We cannot pay for content, nor offer contests with prizes, but we will give copyright acknowledgement and we do not require unique publishing rights. We prefer 150-750 word in any of these areas: Travel, Health or Beauty, Financial info, Lifestyle 45+, Inspirational stories, Decorating or crafts, and Humor (family-oriented). Thank you for your attention to our offer.

Bringing this news to everyone's attention for consideration next year.
