What’s this all about?

Alistair Scott

Greetings, thanks for visiting and welcome to this database of writing markets.

I’m Alistair Scott, the author and owner, a freelance writer and photographer living in Switzerland.

I set up this list as I know that finding markets for your writing in Europe can be difficult. There’s a wealth of material for the USA, but far less information available in Europe.

The two handbooks that are available for the region generally only give details of larger UK magazines and journals. Many of the smaller publications are left out, and neither of the handbooks have much about publications on the European mainland.

This database is intended to supplement these. But, it will be more than that. Things change rapidly in the world of publishing and the handbooks are only published once a year. So they can rapidly go out of date. This list is updated day-by-day. If I hear of any changes (and I’m hoping my readers – that’s you – will inform me) I will generally amend the list within 24 hours.

There is also a page for writing competitions. I generally only post details of free ones. Again, if you know of any that are not featured, let me know.

You can get in touch with me by e-mail here or leave a comment on Eurowriter

If you want to find out more about me you can visit my website here, read my photo-blog, or follow me on Twitter where I post as PhotoZone.

I hope that it helps you to find places to get your work published. I’d love to hear of your successes and, if you know of any markets that I’ve missed, do let me know so we can share them.

Good luck with your writing!
