MAGAZINE WATCH - WRITING MAGAZINE JULY 2009

The July issue of Writing Magazine, published by Warners Group publications, and on sale at newsagents everywhere for £3.60 is well worth picking up this month. Not only is there a great Michael Connelly interview but there's also a feature on Archive fave, Rafe Mcgregor who tell us that he collected over 200 rejections before scoring earlier this year with his novel, The Architect of Murder .

As well as these features on two very different but equally good crime writers, there is all the usual market news geared towards the freelance writer.

THE ARCHITECT OF MURDER

Bill Crider loved it, as did Bernard Knight, and I can't get hold of a copy.

Rafe McGregor's Architect of Murder sold out its print run almost immediately. Which is great news but there is one problem - the book is out of print.

However the book could go into reprint if enough new orders are received. Anyone fancying an historical crime novel where the history isn't at the expense of the action can order HERE. No monies will be taken until the book is ready for dispatch
